For my part,\u00a0 I have never actually been up that early if it\u2019s not to catch a plane to a contract; and honestly 4am comes <em>awfully<\/em> early.

Also, we were flying Delta, which has excellent entertainment options, so my anxiety was eased a lot by immersing myself in a repeat viewing of the new Jungle Book movie (hello Disney, how I have missed you).<\/p>\n<p>Actually the flights were amazingly smooth, and we made Indiana perfectly on time. There was just one itsy bitsy little snag: the car company we had reserved through messed up our reservation, and it is rather difficult to drive across the country without well\u2026a car. More on that later, perhaps.<\/p>\n<p>While we tried to work out that little snag Amras\u2019 Mum came up to pick us up from the airport, so we got in a little more visiting time which is always a good thing..<\/p>\n<p>So\u2026adventure time it is\u2026<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019ll be peace when we are done \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dedication is getting up at 4am to get on a plane\u2026when one is not working (the ultimate example of this is my own family, who regularly drag themselves out of bed and away from work on a regular basis to &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/bloodinyoursaltwater.com\/?p=4294\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[87,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4294","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-great-american-road-trip-2016","category-vacation"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p3GtNE-17g","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bloodinyoursaltwater.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4294","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bloodinyoursaltwater.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bloodinyoursaltwater.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bloodinyoursaltwater.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bloodinyoursaltwater.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4294"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/bloodinyoursaltwater.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4294\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4298,"href":"https:\/\/bloodinyoursaltwater.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4294\/revisions\/4298"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bloodinyoursaltwater.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4294"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bloodinyoursaltwater.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4294"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bloodinyoursaltwater.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4294"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
