Wifey B: While I don't dislike flying as much as hubby, this day is insane. Ok, let's see....had to be at airport at 3:30 AM for 5:30 AM flight. Of course, no baggage check outside but then no one at the counters inside and once finally checked in, then no TSA and then once through them then by gate and no snacks or drinks or food available there. And this is just part 1.
Left at 5:30, supposed to land at 7:22 but by the time we landed and got to the gate and disembarked was 7:55 and had to run a bazillion miles through the airport for an 8:29 departure. That's Part 2.
Take off around 8:45 so not too bad, boarded on time. Murphyfly's law. If connection is short and you're late, then you'll leave on time, probably without your luggage. Due to land 5 hours 19 minutes after scheduled takeoff so around 10:48 AM. Oops.....freaking time zones.
So, lets say we land and exit at 11:00 and pick up baggage or find out it's not there at 11:30 and rental car at noon. That will be 12 hours from the time we left home for the airport and we still have a 35 minute drive to the hotel and lunch since we ate breakfast croissants nearly 12 hours ago although did have an airline breakfast on the flight. If we go to bed at 11:00 tonight we will then have had a 23 1/2 hour day. All to get to the town that gave Johnny Cash the Blues.
Time for a nap.
