Vermont begins

On Tuesday (the 14th) night me and mom packed up our bags nice and hit the road towards Vegas. Mom talked on the phone while I sang along to Maroon 5 and dozed off a little. We reached Vegas after talking with unlce Justin and making sure we were headed in the right direction and frantically found the right terminal. We arrived just in time as they started boarding people and found our seats on the plane. We sat there for about an hour hoping that no one would sit next to me (mom made me sit in the middle and she took the window seat) when all of the sudden a short, fat, Indian man and his wife came and started shoving their carry-on bags into the carriers located above the heads of the passengers. I just knew it! He sat down next to me and reeked of peach Snapple. It smelled similar to booze. It was kinda odd. The flight began and the night grew longer. Get Smart was being shown on the mini screens and people were snoring and twisting and turning in their seats. It was horrible. The plane finally landed at 5 AM (eastern time) and we made our way to the next terminal and waited til the clock said 8:44. It was ridiculous. We were exhausted and mom was begining to say whacky things. I pointed out a cool bridge and she would reply with "That's what they call a Jersey bridge" in a Jersey accent. Everything after that was what the Jersey might say or what-not. Anywho, we attempted to take naps in the crappy seats and then boarded our tiny plane (outside then up the stairs!) and set off for Burlington, Vermont. The view on the way was soooooooo pretty! I snapped some photo's and then we landed in the colorful landscape. Amanda, Kim, Makenna, and Jack were there to pick us up and take us to lunch. Jack showed us our room in the "Bugger House" and we loaded our packs into the guest house. Later me, Makenna, Jack, and Amanda went into town and ate a bunch of apple product samples and drank the best cider I have ever had. Then we ate dinner and now we are getting ready to hit the sack because tomorrow holds great opportunities and fun! Later!
