I Flew Across The Country And Didn't Get Stranded
Hooray, and it took only 11 hours door to door. Way better than the 24 hours it took to get home last month.
Speaking of hours, getting to the airport from home this morning took exactly one hour. I'm glad that's not my daily commute. I'm also glad I don't work in SSF anymore. It's cold and cloudy and windy there all the time, and that just plain depresses me.
Today was my first visit to SFO's long term parking lot in about 5 years. It's no longer a big open lot at the end of the runway. The parking structure they replaced it with is pretty nice, and has a zippy elevator that's so fast it makes me feel like I'm falling.
The flight from SFO to IAD was bumpier than most. I'd had nothing but liquids all morning and that, coupled with my trying to read the paper, made for an unhappy stomach. Finally, I gave up on reading and watched the two in flight movies: Catch and Release and parts of Bridge to Terabithia. They both made me cry and cry and cry. I really ought to bring more Kleenex with me on cross country flights.
The flight from IAD to RDU was short, cramped, and largely uneventful. Yawn.
National classifies the Toyota Corolla as an Intermediate car. Huh?
The internet at this hotel is wireless, free, and insufferably flaky. I give up. Posting this and stepping away before I channel my connectivity frustrations into laptop flight.

Hey, TravelViv, is there any way to view your previous twitters? You twitter so often that I miss some when your display only shows the last four!

OMG, Bridge to T made me cry so hard. I was glad I had the credits to get myself back together.
On my flight from Albany, they showed "Pursuit of Happyness," which I'd seen, so I knew to avoid watching the part that made me cry so hard before.
Um, happy movie, anyone?
What are you doing in NC? Work meeting?

Yeah, work meetings. Won't be surprised if I find myself back here soon.
