Day 5 - Traveling Home

It was nice to sleep in later than we have any other day.  We loaded up and headed to the airport.  We were all surprised at how quiet the airport was for being a weekday.  I'm thinking that most of the traffic happens early with people trying to get to destinations for meetings.

One very nice bonus that we ended up with is PreCheck for TSA.  I've never had this and it was so wonderful to not take off shoes, jackets, upload bags, and just walk through security like we would do in the past.  When I get to the point where I will travel more, I will for sure add this on.

We still had some time before boarding so we grabbed breakfast.  I don't mind airport food, I just don't like the price.  Egg sandwhich, fries, and a soda was on tap for our "healthy" meal.  If nothing else, it set me up for a good food coma.

Our flight wasn't too bad.  I just hate that there is so little leg room.  This flight did have tv's in the back of the seats with a selection of tv shows and movies.  I started one movie and my food coma kicked in.  I didn't sleep too long, but just enough to miss the majority of the movie.  I started another one called Stronger.  I didn't get to finish it because we were landing, but I have to know how it ended.

Looking back on our time in DC, I am so thankful to UAS for providing me this once in a life time opportunity.  This was a game changer for me in how minorities are looked at and treated differently. I am thankful for my time with Adam, Douglas, Josue, and Elsie.  I am honored to spend the time with them and wish I could bottle them all up as it's nice to spend time with others who are serious about their education.  It's been a week of learning, fun, laughter, and new friends.
