Good morning! 
I’m feeling super caffeinated right now! 
Buzzzzz! I drank two good-sized coffees before 9:00 AM and now I am really feelin’ it!
The caffeine was much-needed this morning, however. Mal and I woke up, showered, dressed, packed, and then headed to the hotel restaurant for breakfast– all before the sun came up.
The hotel restaurant had a modern-French, sort of funky, feel to it. It was cute.
I started my morning with a cup of coffee, which had a nice, bold flavor.
Mal took a sip of my coffee and instantly felt the buzz. It was an intense brew– just the way I like it!
For breakfast, I ordered the “Healthy Start,” which was a bowl of oatmeal with brown sugar and golden raisins on top.
And fresh fruit on the side.
Delicious and satisfying.
Minutes after finishing breakfast, Mal and I grabbed the hotel shuttle to the airport. At the airport, the lines for security were SO LONG, we were convinced that we’d miss our flight. Luckily, our plane was delayed, so we ended up with plenty of time to spare.
We even had enough time to grab some coffee from Peet’s.
I ordered an iced coffee to which I added non-fat milk and hearty shakes of both cinnamon and cocoa powder.
No need for sugar. 
When boarding the plane, Mal and I made a wonderful discovery about our seats: Emergency Exit Row! Wahoo! Our lucky day!
Our seats were quite spacious.
With plenty of leg room! 
(Don’t my legs look like 2 different pairs of jeans?! Weird.)
It’s a little about an hour to Eugene and then a 2.5-hour drive to Medford. We’re almost there!

Hey Tina I just wanted to say I admire you for not complaining! It is really annoying they didn’t pay for your hotel room I would be mad but I like seeing someone in good spirits about it all!
Hello from Oregon! (Salem, here
)
glad to hear that you got on another plane and had some good cups of coffee
Sorry about all the delays…sitting around in an airport is the worst!
Have a safe trip! You’re good sticking to coffee, too – I prob would have broke down and had a martini at 9am with all those travel problems!
hey, I have that same black and white bag! Except yours looks like it’s in better shape than mine.
Two thumbs up for coffee!! Glad you guys are on your way
Looks like your morning was off to a great start with that cute breakfast and emergency row seats! Score!
Hope you guys had a good drive
Mmm, what a warm and comforting breakfast. Just what you probably needed! Safe travels.
I hope your travels are stress-free on the trip back home. I just created a blog today and listed you as one of the inspirational writers that changed the way I wanted to tell my story. Please let me know what you think of the setup and writing whenever you get a minute, thanks!!
i know you will be rushed but you will be at the home of daves killer bread and be going right by a few dutch brothers coffee’s !!!!!! super good!!!! safe travels!!!!
I have felt so bad for you since your travel headaches began and I’ve been praying like a good girl that we don’t run into similar trouble next weekend when we go to Chicago for a week. We’ll be traveling with two little girls age 8 and 2…NO PROBLEMS PLEASE!!
You should really stop in Ashland (it is about 45 minutes from Medford) at some point and get the carrot cake at this restaurant called Munchies. It is to die for!
How is it that even on your worst days you still have AMAZING hair!!! haha!
love peets!! breakfast looked delish! I forget sometimes the simplicity of just oats and brown sugar and raisins-how good and satisfying it can be!
Exit row score!
I always feel weird ordering oatmeal in restaurants because i make it so much at home i feel like i should order something else. But,.. I like oatmeal! I should def order it in restaurants!
Have fun at my old stomping ground Medford/Ashland was there for a year!
Yikes that would be one big buzz. I can’t do that much caffeine or I can’t sleep.
Hope your road trip is fun.
Haha! It does look like you’re wearing two different pairs of jeans! That’s so funny.
Haha I love how you said luckily your plane was delayed.. don’t hear that everyday! I hope your travel headaches end soon!
haha…love caffeine filled days
Peets is fabulous. Hope ya’ll are making it safely
