We said our goodbyes to San Jose and were on our way back to the United States. First stop Hotlanta. The in-flight movie was not nearly as good as Twilight. Instead, we watched The Day the Earth Stood Still which cause me to fall asleep halfway through. One funny part of that movie however, was when Keanu Reeves met an old Chinese man in a McDonalds. They were both aliens, and spoke in Mandarin. I asked Esther if they were speaking Alien-language or Chinese. She said that all Old Chinese Men are actually aliens. Since she’s Chinese I have to believe her.
In HotLanta, Esther and I desperately searched for a Chic-Fil-A, but to no avail. Despite going to another terminal where we believed the chain to be located, we were reminded that Chic-Fil-A is closed on Sundays. Dreams denied. Meanwhile, Amy worked her magic with the Freshen’s man to give her mountains of M&M’s.
The rest of our trip was eh. First, our flight back to Boston was delayed an hour. Then after boarding the plane, we were informed that air traffic control would not let us depart for another hour. Another plane needed the gate, so we had to sit off to the side somewhere. However, the three of us completed an entire crossword (which I have never done before!) in 45 minutes, when someone decided that they did not feel well and had to be brought back to the gate. Our ETD was then pushed back another hour. Finally, we made it back into the skies, and unfortunately, returned to cold Boston and MIT psets.
