Baton Rouge, LA

October 11th – 12th

Florida vs LSU – Women’s Volleyball – ESPNU – 7 et



Short night.

But this was my first visit to LSU, so I was eager to get over to campus.

Upon arrival, I was appalled!
The trash leftover from the night before was unbelievable!
(Florida vs LSU Football Game)
I have never seen such laziness! There were plenty of trash cans – I guess the fans are too good to bother using them.




Since I was a few minutes early, I walked around for a bit.




My friend Shannon was working the game. Since we didn’t get done until late, we ordered pizza and had wine in her room. It was nice to have a few hours to catch up!
Made this long trip worthwhile.

On Monday morning it was CRAZY foggy… I knew this would be trouble.
Sure enough, my flight out of Baton Rouge was delayed. Which meant I would likely miss my connection in Houston. Grrr! I really wanted to get home!!

While waiting on the ground, I called Emergency Travel to find out my options. Not good!

The next available seat to Columbus wasn’t until almost 11pm. NO!!!!!!

Eventually took off from Baton Rouge – I was nervous cuz I knew pretty much the only way I would make the connection is if my Columbus flight was delayed.

Houston is a rather large airport and I don’t go thru there all that often. And on this day, I got my “OJ” on and ran like there was no tomorrow!

It had indeed been delayed a few minutes so I was able to make it. Barely – but I did it!
