Saturday June 26, 2010 We got up at 2am to catch our 5:26 flight. Yes, I said 2am. We left our house at about 3am. We got to the airport around 3:40. One of the security officers told us that the ticket counters open at 4:20. Are you kidding me!!!??? Then why do the they recommend you getting to the airport 2 hours prior to your departure time!? As you can see, we were probably the first ones at the airport. We arrived in Tampa, Florida around 9:20am. We picked up our rental car, which is a pontianc g6. I thought that was funny because that is the kind of car I just traded in. This g6 is nicer than mine was though. We then drove to see Danny's aunts family. We had a good time. Everyone came over except danny's sister. It was good to see everyone and finally get to see their new babies. Danny's uncle loaded our car up with some fishing equipment. I'm back in Tampa, so it's time to go shark fishing again. Maybe this time Danny will catch a shark. We left their house around 2 and headed to our hotel. When we arrive at our hotel, I'm always leary about how they look. We book them online, and were not ever sure how they are going to look. We are very happy with this hotel. I love the decorations, and they have free breakfast! The view from our room is overlooking the Tampa Bay Marina. So, we might just fish off of that. Oh, I have to tell you...on our way to Danny's aunts, we were starving, so we stopped and ate lunch at McDonalds. So Now it's like 6 hours later and were starving again. Guess what is within walking distance of out hotel. Mcdonalds. So, that Is what we had for something to hold us over till dinner. At some point in the day, I noticed my phone was dying. So, once we got into the room, I plugged my phone in. Each time we went back to our room I checked on it. It didn't seem like it was charging. So after that second trip to Mcds, I asked a worker at the front desk where the nearest AT&T store was. He said it was at a mall about 15 minutes away. So we headed over there. Well the guy told me it was probably my battery and that I have to go to an Apple store. Wondeful!!! So we pulled up directions on the gps, and we started to head out there. I called to make sure they would be open till 9. It's probably 6:30 at this point. They said they were open till 9 and that I had to make an appointment. The only time they had available was 8:20. So I took it of course. We were headed out there, so we said we would stop and eat dinner. Not mcdonalds this time, haha. The Apple store was at their mall. I guess it was kinda like our fashion mall. It had all the high end stores; Louise vuitton, Kate spade, saks fifth ave., etc. So obviously I was only window shopping. This mall was amazing!!! I don't know how many times we got lost. It was huge. The resturaunt we ate at was outside. They had this one section of the mall that was like a city in Italy. We ate at a sub shop called something like "Earl of subs." It was the best sub I have had in my life! So tell me if you ever see one. We got to the apple store around 8pm. I was 20 minutes early, but she said early is always better. My appointment was for 8:20. They finally called for me at 8:40! If you have never been to an apple store, let me just tell you... They are always packed, and loud. There is nothing under $200. Unless you want to buy a laptop bag for your $1500 computer that is going to last just as long as my $300 toshiba. :) so I was stuck in this store and I can't afford anything in it. Except and arm band for my iPhone, which they didn't even have. Anyways, back to my story. I guess iPhone batteries only last like 8 months. Since I have had my phone for under 1 year, it still has warranty. So they had to replace my entire phone. I haven't backed up my phone for about 3 days. So whatever I did the past three days, it has been deleted. I also can't get any of the back up info, until I sync my phone to my computer, which is at home. So I also do not have anyones phone numbers. I want to call Chrissy to make sure she's not going into labor, but she would call me. So after we drove all over central Florida, I finally got a phone that I can use. And I needed ice cream to calm me. There are 2 ice cream parlars next to our hotel. Well, they were both closed! We were at apple for so long, that it was now 10:15. Guess what is open late! Mcdonalds. We went to mcdonalds for the third time. That's my record. I got the rescees mcflurry. It's yummy. We then went back to our room. We had been up since 2am. This was one long day.
