Every thing went pretty much as I described in the previous post.
I got into Philly at about 8:30 and was on the road in my rental car headed towards DC by 9.
I got to DC around 11pm, turned in the rental car, took the shuttle to the terminal, found my luggage, caught a taxi, and arrived at my hotel at 12:30 am.
14.5 hours of travel. Loved every minute of it.
It is 1:30 in the afternoon on Sunday, May 18th. I’m sitting at the airport waiting for a flight to Philadelphia. I’m supposed to be going to Washington, D.C. That flight was canceled 3 hours ago due to any actuator problem. I got rebooked on this Philly flight and now it is delayed 1.5 hours because of weather. When (if?) I get to Philly, I’ll then rent a car, drive to the Dulles airport, turn the car in, go pick up my bag (which made it on a different flight to D.C., then take a cab to my hotel.
This has been a fun day. Seriously.
(Also a first of sorts. I made this entry using my Blackberry.)
