Made it to San Diego

So I went to SeaTac today an hour before the flight. It took about twenty minutes to get checked in. While I was there I had to check my softball bat in on its own. I did not have my softball bag and it would not fit in my suitcase. I asked if I could take it on board. The guy said it is a weapon. I said “You have never seen me swing it”. He chuckled.

It took about forty minutes to get through the security check. Well it took about ninety seconds to get through security and about thirty-eight and a half minutes to get to the security point. There were so many people in line.

I got on the plane about five minutes after the schedule take off time. We sat on the plane waiting to take off. It was about fifty minutes late. Finally we took off. We got to San Diego about thirty minutes late. The pilot said he would try to make up some time on the flight. They did.

I watched Harold and Kumar go to Whitecastle on the way. Then I listened to some music. Once we landed it took forever for me to get my bags. After all the bags were done coming through the belt, I did not see my bat. I was worried that it was lost. Then as I was going to let them know it was missing I saw someone walking over with the package with my bat. I was very happy about that.

We took a shuttle bus to Dollar Rent-a-car. It took about forty minutes to get through that line to get the car. Today was a day of waiting in lines. We took off to find our hotel. But the guy who was driving the car got off the freeway to early so we spend about an extra twenty minutes getting to the hotel.

I was looking through all the stuff they gave me and I saw they have free high speed Internet. I was stoked! I did not get to hook it up before we left to go to the opening ceremonies. It was down on the waterfront. We drove there and walk to the park. It was at a huge stage and there were teams from all over the states: Teaxs, Kansas, Minnesota, New England, New York, Washington DC, California, Oregon, Washington, and more. I am looking forward to talking to people from some of the other states and listen to their accents. It should be good time.

After the opening ceremonies we went to the hotel near by to check in. Each player had to sign a release. Then we got a package with different samples of things and other freebies. We went to Denny’s for dinner and I got back to the hotel to get on the Internet. And it is working! YES!

I found out our first game is at two o’clock pm tomorrow and four o’clock pm on Tuesday. That means we can sleep in and go out and party each night.

I walked to AM/PM to get some food and water and spent the evening on the Internet and watched some TV.
