Gotta love vacation adrenaline

Do you wake up on the morning your vacation starts, at some awful hour, just wide awake and ready to go? Well that's me. I once had a 7:00am flight to Maui, and because of the distance I was to the airport at the time I had to be picked up by the shuttle service at 3:30am, after 2 hours of sleep. But since I was so excited for the trip, I hopped out of bed and was ready to go.

Well, that's the same thing for this morning. I am a night owl by nature, so didn't go to bed last night until after 2am. I had set my alarm for 6:15am so I could be out of here by 7am. Well to my surprise, I woke up around 4:40am, and after staring at the dark ceiling for about 5 mins I just got out of bed. Let's just say that I'm sure I'll crash around 8pm tonight, about 6+ hours earlier than the norm. But at least I don't have to worry about being late. I cracked open an Amp energy drink (since I'm up, but not fully awake) and have been playing on the web. Something I would likely have done when I got up at the original 6:15am wake-up call time. But this time I won't make myself late.

Anyway... in 6 hours I will be enjoying some clam chowder maybe (at a favorite place at Sea-Tac) or something else just as delicious. And in about 11 hours I will be touching down in Juneau. Which happens to be the most beautiful decent into an airport I have ever experienced. I can't wait to see it again. And it will be good to see my Mom and Step-Dad after they have been gone for 2 1/2 months now.
