And away I go…

 Tuesday, October 28

Despite not leaving for the airport until after 5, I took today off from work.  I got to sleep in, do a long workout and take care of all the last minute things, not the least of which was spending quality time with the kids.  Before I knew it I was in the car on the way to Logan.


It’s been so long since I’ve checked a bag and this duffel turned out to tip the scales at 30 lb.  Sure it’s got the tripod in it, but once I committed to the duffel, all bets were off and I was throwing everything in there.  I was glad to turn it over to someone else to handle.


I enjoyed another visit to the DeltaOne lounge since Virgin doesn’t have its own lounge here.  I had an amazing dinner.  The starter was hummus with baby vegetables.  The main was salmon a la plancha over black lentils and creamed spinach.  Dessert was sweet potato cheesecake on a Biscoff cookie base with warm marshmallow topping and pickled cranberries and caramel drizzle.  Yowza.


I finished dinner with about 20 minutes before boarding so I hit the shop for a bottle of water and headed to board.  I’m enjoying the legroom and potential for this lie flat bed, but bummed to hear it’ll be a quick trip of just 6 hours.  Wah!  I’ll do my best.
