I slept in and had to pack my bag in a panic. I hadn’t even checked-out yet and needed to get my security deposit back from the front desk still. My plane was leaving in 3 hours and I had no idea how to get back to the airport. I started sprinting down the street looking for something that might help me. I ran into some other people that were heading back to the airport too so I hitched a ride with them. They had rented a car and they didn’t even want any money for the ride. That was great for me because I almost blew all the money I brought. I had an absolutely amazing trip though so I couldn’t complain. We pulled up to the airport and I still had plenty of time to board the plane. This was the first trip I have ever had that ran so smoothly, I guess my new found spontaneity had paid off!
