The Wrap Up
The following are notes which I made before boarding the plane to Springfield from The Dallas Fort Worth Airport about 1pm, Wed 5/3/11.
We 5/3/11 THE RETURN FLIGHT
Awoke at 310am without the aid of the alarm. HOUSEWIVES played all night. Turned on WMAY via the computer , took a shower, and exited The Days Inn in Surprise just about 410am.
The directions that the front desk printed for me last night were invaluable. I drove directly to the Fox Returns, and had not a single moment of indecision. Light traffic and everyone was moving right along, however, I could not figure out how to use the 'mileage gauge'. How odd, it kept telling me how much mileage I was getting, but not how many miles that I had traveled. It seems that this feature was working earlier in the week.
On the airport shuttle to the airport just about 515am under a beautiful pre-dawn sky. And, I went through the securtiy check about 515am. As usual, there was quite a line. I put the laptop in the bottom of the container, but apparently this needs to be run through by itself. How could they not know what it is if they are looking at the stuff with a god-damn X-ray?? Nitwits.
The weather has been clear, and slightly cooler than normal-50's and 60's.
710am began the take-off, and in the air by 715am
"1093"to Dallas, Two Hour Flight Time
Touch Down 11am Local Time, and out the dooor by 1125am. I was sitting in almost the last seat in the plane.
I had to ride the Sky Link twice because they gave the wrong gate for my departure. They did this on the way out as well. I will have to remember to check 'the board' before I make any treks.
Found the correct gate, and then had two large Bud drafts for ten bucks. Then, walked down the coverse and found a McD's, and got a cheeseburge and fries. The prices are so outraegeous that McD's is the only logical choice.
Sitting at Gat 13, and writing this document. There is no Wi Fi in the airport. So, no internet connection. Oh well.
Boarded the flight back to Springfield right on time (110pm), but instead of departing at 140pm, we didn't hit the sky until just about 2pm. Nice flying weather, and touched down in Springfield at 345pm (about 20 minutes late).
I drove directly to the credit union and deposited my reimbursement check in the account. $1,200.00. I didn't make anything on him, and my first social security check for the month of April would have more than covered the trip.
I pulled into my slot at the condo,and I spoke with Craig. He told me that his medical emergency was a ruptured vein in his liver. Apparently, he bled significant amounts of blood internally.
Janny arrived just a few minutes later, bonded with Buddy, and we talked for several minutes, but I think that Joe was waiting in the car.
Fired up my Internet connection, and all of the computers are up and running. Five discs from Netflix were on the kitchen table,and tonight a film written by Elmore Leonard and directed by Abel Ferrara'
It's like I never left!!
