The First Try

Alarm went off at 3 am. Jumped in the shower while Desiree got dressed and ready. Dressed, tooth brushed, last minute packing, securing the house, and driving off around 3:30 am. Arrived at the Ramstein Passenger terminal right at 0400! The doors open. W noticed about 20 people already at line in front of the doors. We follow behind. One by one we wait to be sign in at the front desk. 30 minutes after the Kesslers have signed in! Fuck, we forgot to take out the last trash!

0500 Memphis departs at 1345. Great only 2 hours from Arkansas... Looking around there must have been 200 people in the pax terminal... not looking good. We left for the shop so I could check out the retraining list for 2012. Found 2 PA slots open for my rank..weeepeee. Went ahead and completed my request to retrain. Now we just have to play the waiting game. 

0600 we left for the pax terminal again. The sign in line still full. Its crazy so many people trying to fly out. Hopefully not to Memphis. Its crazy, everyone trying to share what they know about Space A travel. A lot of worried people and bitching. "I have been waiting on a flight since Saturday!"
"What category are you?" "Where you trying to go to?" Blah blah blah...
Dogs barking in the background, kids playing on the playground... and more blah blah blah.

0700 Memphis flight has been pushed out to 0300 next morning (Aug2)
Fun fun... it happens. We also have another chance to fly out at 10pm to Louisiana. So we will be back tonight.  At least now we can take out the trash...lol
