The Adventure Begins August 26, 2019
And we’re off!! Connie picked me up right on time and we made it to Marilyn’s without a hitch. Everything fit into Connie’s trunk and we flew down the Suncoast to the airport, arriving even earlier than our generous arrival time! At security the nice man had to check Marilyn’s “suspicious” silver package - tuna! He recognized it immediately and sent us on our way.
TIA has lots of electric outlets so Marilyn could charge her phone and she chatted with a young man who taught her some tricks about upgrading your seat on Delta.
We’re seated across the aisle from one another and settle in quickly. It’s only about a three hour flight to New York; but we made such good time that we were half an hour early! During the flight I got to watch “Tolkein” and munch on cranberry-apple juice and a Dark Chocolate Chunk Kind bar! And later there was water for everyone!
One of the attendants was going down the aisle and stopping at every traveler who had a connecting flight. He told us that our flight will leave from the same terminal in which we will be arriving. Yay! And once off the plane I received a text from Delta, with our gate and scheduled departure time!! So far, so good!!
Yeah! Bon Voyage! Sure wish Delta had been so kind to the Japan travelers with gate notification! So looking forward to the armchair traveling with you!
ReplyDeleteCan’t wait for “our” journey to Iceland!
ReplyDeletehooray!! what a wonderful start -- and that's my fave kind of Kind bar. I need to add Tolkien to my watch list!
ReplyDeleteGreat news! So glad you had a fortuitous start. TOLKIEN was pretty good, wasn't it? ;-)
