supposed to feel excited that i'm actually typing in Phoenix airport using its free wireless...am quite excited when i got onto the window seat and saw the islands look smaller and the huge ocean miles below me.. yet when the fact dawned on me that what i expected really materialised, i was shocked even though i already expected it and was not supposed to. sorry sounding really incoherent now at 250am in the morning in a foreign land and also feeling rather horrible.
yes i'm touched that my family came to see me off and my dad even rented car to drive me to the airport, but seeing friends of my travel mates standing in a circle talking to them and presenting them with gifts while i head off to an eatery with my family really hit me real bad. i've told myself to be less pessimistic but this nagging feeling just refuses to go away, despite me trying not to think about it and focus on the true purpose of enjoying the trip itself. i am indeed appreciative of friends who did make the effort to meet up with me before my trip itself, but not seeing anyone there to send me off kinda sucks (no offence to marg, kt and april - u guys had your reasons =)) particularly disappointed in one group whom i thought i was rather close with..
anyway, didn't even get to have a second glance at taipei cos of the super short transit time! our flight was delayed therefore we couldn't get to grab any brochures or flyers whatsoever.. disapppointed in LAX (short for LA Intl Airport - don't ask me why there's an 'X' there) cos it looks even more rundown than changi airport and here in phoenix airport which is tons better! did NOT see any shops or restaurants, it was just terminals and more terminals..weather was rather chilly despite the sun.
current status: trying to while away our time in phoenix airport...may be suffering from jet lag cos it's already 3am here but it's 6pm singapore time..
ok till the next entry! (which will be when we safely reach grand canyon *prays REALLY hard*)
