An hour later, we arrive at the airport and unpack our things from the car. Angie leads the way to the security entrance. "Please walk through here." the security guard says, taking out bags and putting them on the carry on. We walk the scanner and grab out bags on the other side. "Flight 13 for Trenton, New Jersey will leave in 10 minutes." a lady's voice on the intercom says. "That's us!" I say, and walk towards the plane. I look at our tickets and eventually find out seats. Angie sits next to me and Sophia sits behind us. "Oh my gosh! We're flying!" I yell, looking out the window. I have never flown on a plane before. "Really?" Angie says sarcastically. I giggle and lean my head back against the seat, trying to get a nap in.

"Grace! Wake up, we're here!" Sophia yells, shaking my shoulders. We stand up and shuffle through the aisle behind about a dozen people. My phone buzzes and I check my notifications. My mom text me to ask if we're alright. I answer back, "We're great! :)" and put my phone back in my pocket. Angie hops off the steps of the plane, Sophia and I following behind her. As we walk through the airport, a man calls over to him. He has dark, balding hair and a heavy Scottish accent. "Miss Howell?" he asks. "Yeah, that's me." I reply, walking up to him. "Your cab to Comfort Inn Hotels." he tells us, pointing to a taxi. "Thanks!" Angie says. We jog to the cab and hop in the back. I check the time, it's 5:48.

About 20 minutes later we arrive at the hotel. We hand the taxi $15 and grab our bags. "Thanks for the ride!" I yell to the guy as we walk towards the building. Sophia pushes the door open and we step into the lobby. I walk up to the desk and tell the woman we have reservations. "Room 64?" she asks. "Yep." Angie replies, grabbing the keys the lady holds out. We walk up the flight of stairs and look at the doors' numbers. 62,63,64. "Here we are!" Angie says, unlocking the door with they key. The door clicks open and we step into a nice room with three twin beds, bathroom, TV, and small kitchen area. "I call this bed!" Sophie says, as she hops onto the closest one to the door. "I guess I'll get this one." Angie says, running to the bed in the middle. I walk to the one by the far wall. "I'm gonna go take a shower guys!" I say, grabbing some clothes, shampoo, and a towel. I undress quickly and turn the knob right. About ten minutes later, I get out of the shower, dry off, and put on my Fall Out Boy shirt with some sweatpants. I brush my hair and pull it into a bun. The next couple of hours we all eat snacks and listen to the new Panic At The Disco album. By 11:30, I decide to go to bed since we have to wake up earlier. "Goodnight!" Angie says. We say goodnight back and go to our beds. I lay down and pull the covers over my arms. We have a big day ahead of us.
