Went to the airport at 7:30pm Wednesday 3/28. I had no real idea what to expect. There were a bunch of people standing around waiting to get in the check in line. I didn't see anyone I knew, which was not at all surprising.

I went ahead and checked in on my own. I saw some people standing around the front of the check in area, so I went over and introduced myself. I met Tara and some others. Tara said she wanted to pick up a book for the the flight and I asked if I could tag along because I discovered that the huge book I had brought with me, I left at my sister's place.

She was nice and all but I didn't feel much of any interest from her. I followed her to the convenience store and bought a couple of books for the flight. I bumped into the guy I was going to be rooming with. His name is Ron and he seemed like a pretty nice guy.

The flight over was pretty dang boring but I found myself sitting next to another group member named Brendon. He had just gotten divorced from his 2nd wife. He even had the "Dear John" letter she wrote him. I just happened to look over his shoulder as he was reading it. He is a defense attorney in Bend Oregon and he actually works on death penalty cases, which I found quite impressive.

Behind our row was this younger woman. I thought she was pretty cute but I wasn't sure if she was in our singles group. She was watching Borat on the in flight movie service. (The entertainment system was pretty damn impressive on this flight.) She was totally cracking up at the movie. I found out soon that she was with our group. She is the youngest and cutest of our group by far.

More on her later...
