June 2, 2015: Minneapolis >> Atlanta

3:30am- An ungodly hour. Also known as the hour I was awoken to go to the airport. Other than getting 2 hours of sleep (I pack best between the hours of 11pm and 1am), we got to Atlanta without a hitch. 
7:30am- the Atlanta flight lounge
8:00am- the Atlanta flight lounge
8:30am- the Atlanta flight lounge 

...
1:00pm- the Atlanta flight lounge
1:15pm- NOT THE FLIGHT LOUNGE. At 1:15, we decided to venture out. Not off airport property mind you, but we did make our way to Atlanta's Delta Museum. Not Delta as in the-little-triangle-between-two-rivers museum. But Delta the airline company. Thought I should clear that up in case of any confusion. It was very little museum. They had some airport vehicles, and a couple planes.
They had a big 1970s 67 you could go in. A whole bunch of stewardess  uniforms were on display.. They were so classy <3 

2:15- Back on home turf in the flight lounge. But hey, between the free food and Wifi (ergo Netflix) it's almost as good as home. Better even, because the food doesn't run out. 
6:00- we go to board our flight to South Africa. Only to be told at the gate that a new law had gone into effect June 1st, stating that in an effort to reduce human trafficking, all minors entering South Africa need a birth certificate. Well crap.  So here we are, party of 2/4 minors. So we waddled out of the airport, weary from our early start and day of waiting around, and we headed to a near by airport hotel. Dad and mom were quick to call anyone with a house key- who could track down and FedEx us those birth certificates?! Luckily our God droned Phil came through. The birth certificates were on their way, scheduled to arrive in the morning. So all we now had to do was eat a dinner of Southern Fried chicken, and crawl into bed. The near by runway serenaded us to sleep.

Long Story Short:
