Arrived late today to Minneapolis, Minnesota for a week of touring the great white north!  Today was a travel day so was fairly uneventful, minus the mishap at the airport.  Boarding went well until there was a faint smell of jet fuel in the cabin!  After unloading and a 90 minute delay, Delta claimed to fix the leak.  I think they probably used duct tape and febreeze and called it good.  Either way, landed safely in Minneapolis. 

The airport is much larger here than I anticipated.  After getting my rental car (thank god for AWD), I went outside and BRRRR… This place isn’t exactly Columbus, Georgia.  Luckily, they must have a good city planner in the downtown area, because everything is indoors.  You can navigate between stores and cross roads without even going outside!  Lucky me, because I don’t even own a real winter jacket anymore, not really any need for one in Georgia.

After unpacking I got over to the local YMCA before they closed to get a little sweat on.  I’ve had a pretty rough past two weeks and haven’t been able to work out.  Thankfully I was able to get a little bit done before they shut down for the evening.

I’m excited for this week.  I used to live in Minnesota and haven’t been back in about 12 years, so it’s exciting to see things that bring back a little bit of memories already.  I will be traveling to St. Cloud for two days, then travel to Duluth… which is hear is still south of Canada, although I’m skeptical haha.
