On Sunday we got up at 5:00 so we could be at the airport at 6:00 for our 7:00 flight to Cincinnati. When we were getting our boarding passes for our flights, the man at the desk told us that they didn’t have boarding passes for the second flight, and that we’d have to get them at the gate in Cincinnati.

The flight from Portland to Cincinnati wasn’t nearly as interesting as the one from Dallas to Portland. There were overcast skies all the way from Oregon until around the Illinois-Indiana border. All I could see was square plots of land continuing in all directions. It’s got to be boring living in rural Indiana.

When we arrived at the airport in Cincinnati (actually northern-Kentucky) we immediately went to our gate to find out what was up with our boarding passes. It turned out that the flight was overbooked and if everyone showed up, we would be bumped. Our options were to either take ground-transportation to Indianapolis, or take a later flight at 7:50pm. If we opted for the later flight and they couldn’t fit us on the original flight, we would be given a $200 voucher for each ticket, so we chose to go with the later flight.

About ten minutes after the flight was supposed to depart, two people still had not shown up, so we were given the last two seats on the plane. For making us wait around they did give us two $25 vouchers so that was cool.

We arrived in Indianapolis at about 4:00 and we drove straight to the school Dayton. It’s amazing how short a three hour drive seems now. We found the building Megan had to be at in the morning and then found a nearby motel.
