Day 2

Today started with yummy free breakfast from the hotel that the airline set us up in.  Lots of good stuff.  Then we jumped on the shuttle to the airport (wearing everything "yesterday").

We already had our boarding passes so all we had to do was go through security and find our gate.  Once we got to the gate, one of our fellow passengers informed us that the flight was delayed for 2 hours.  Sweet.  So we pop-a-squat and prepare ourselves for a long wait.  This whole time I'm trying to connect to the internet and it was making me so mad i wanted to throw my computer through the wall.  So we're sitting there and discover that our gate has been changed.  Well to make a long story slightly shorter, 4 hours and 6 gates later, we finally take off.  We end up in Des Moines at 4 pm, only 28 hours after we were supposed to.  Then we get to the rental car place and they tell  us they don't have a car for us.  Great.  We finally got our car (which, by the way, is the nicest car I have ever driven) and headed to the Des Moines center, 2 hours before close.  They basically told us to come back tomorrow after we had showered.  Then we got to our hotel and drove around the block about 6 times because we didn't know which building was ours/where to park.  Then we got to our rooms.  HOLY SMOKES.

I have a dining room table.  Freak this is going to be a great week!
