Off to Kansas! Day 1

As you know from my previous blog I'm in Kansas right now! Its my first day here and I'm enjoying it very much. Our plane took off at 7:00 am but I had to wake up at 4:30 am so I was really tired on the plane and it felt a lot longer than it really was. Finally we got to Kansas, and a nice gentleman picked us up and drove us to our hotel. We were very early at the hotel because it was 11:30 and the lady at the front desk told us our room would be available at 2:00. So then my mom called the guy who was going to pick us up to drive us to the rental place where we would pick up our rental car. My  mom thought ahead and reserved a car for this trip so we could drive to places by ourselves, not always having a taxi pick us up.

Unfortunately my mom and I were stuck in the hotel lobby because the guy who told us he was going to be picking us up, told us he would be there in 10 minutes which, turned into 40 min. The both of us were being hit with waves of exhaustion, and on top of that, we were starving beyond belief because the last time we had eaten was 6:00 am. After a long wait, the guy named Logan picked us up, and we went to a place called enterprise and got a very nice silver Toyota Corolla. And, both of the drivers that picked us up recommended a really good barbecue place called Oklahoma Joe's. We decided that would be a good choice for when me and my teammates are all together. Due to how hungry we were, we decided to go to AppleBee's for lunch.  It was right next to the car rental place.

Our server brought food to the table that was very good and filling. The waitress was super upbeat and friendly and thought it was cool that we were from Boston (our waitress also worked at a bowling alley nearby that I really want to go to). Then, We hopped in our car and went back to the hotel.

Since our room still wasn't ready, the front desk manager gave us a room for a few hours so that we could have a place to be until our real room. I was on my I-pad and we were watching tv. About an hour and a half before the front desk manager told us it would be time for us to go to our new and real room, I decided that. I wanted to go swimming. Literally, I couldn't drag myself out of the jacuzzi because it felt like paradise. I went into the regular pool too. We came back to our temporary room and realized that it was the time that the manager had told us to come down, so we went down hoping that our room would be ready because he said it would be, but of course NO it still wasn't ready. He told us in 25 minutes it will be ready, so to kill time, we went to Kohl's (there was one right behind the hotel) because we wanted to shop around and, I forgot my Patriots had at the house so I wanted to get a new hat. I got a scarf and 2 hats. I got to scratch a coupon and we got 30% off! we saved a lot! Finally, we got back to the hotel and our room was open! We got settled and then I started blogging!
