Touchdown in SLC

I left home this morning at about 6:30 or so. Little plane.  Puddle Jumper.  But it jumped well enough to get me to The Cities Airport in less than a hour...normally a 5 hour trip by car.  Eerily enough...or perhaps not...I sat next to the man who first cast me and my kids in a play in the Bemidji area!  I owe almost all my theatre time in Bemidji to Greg Gasman.  It was sort of a neat little happenstance.  He's on his way to Texas.

My trip really has been very uneventful!  Which is super!  I'll take it.  No delays, no missed flights, no close calls.  Wonderful! 

I realized while sitting on the tarmac in Minneapolis that I didn't know what car company my rental was through!  So, I paid for internet on the plane and can you beleive I played on the internet while I was in the sky?!  Is that some crazy StarTrek stuff or what?!  Anyhoo--my rental was through Alamo and when I got to the SLC airport, there was about a billion people.  I found out this is the weekend of Sundance Film Festival and some other huge trade show for electronics.  All of the rental booths were packed, except Alamo.  I don't exactly know what that means for anyone else, but for ME it meant an upgrade!  My sweetheart husband had rented me a little compact car and I was excited to zip around in a little car instead of a mommy van.

The gent behind the counter asked if I was there for the Film Festival and I said, 'nope..I'm auditioning for the Nauvoo Pageant.'  He was so excited for me he said, 'well, we can't have a star driving around in a little car, I'm upgrading you to the Equinox!' 

It's even this color!
How funny is that?  From one mommy car to another!!  Hahaha!!  But, it's still zippy!  And clean on the inside!  He made me promise to find him on Monday and tell him how I did.  I told him I promised to TRY to find him....and sign an autograph!  Nice guy...Fred.  He gets extra stars in his crown today!

His probably isn't this color.

Anyhoo, that's my news for today.  I'll update again soon.  Getting closer.  About 50 hours until my audition. 

Serenity and love from 47 degrees...above!
