Thanksgiving '22 Travelog #11
STL airport - Sun, 27 Nov 2022, 2:30pm
We're en route to home from our Thanksgiving trip, currently at St. Louis airport (STL) where we have a 2 hour connection. It's been a smooth travel day so far. Of course, "smooth" also means boring. The drive to DCA airport just outside Washington, DC was 2:20 of mostly boredom, including quick stops for snacks and gas. Waiting for our first leg flight from DCA was another 90+ minutes of boredom, flying to STL was 2.5 hours of boredom, now sitting in STL is 2 hours of boredom, with 4.5 hours more boredom likely to come on the flight to SJC. What'll we do when we get home? Hopefully not something boring! Though I'm not going to bet on it. 🤣
On the plus side we're due to land at SJC at 6pm, so we can have dinner at home— or at least near home, perhaps at a favorite restaurant. We chose this itinerary that meant getting up a bit early in exchange for arriving home at a not-late hour. Though I did wake up at 5am (couldn't sleep) when I only needed to get up at 6:30. We left my inlaws' house just outside Harrisburg, PA at 7:30am. Getting home around 6:30pm (including taxi from the airport) will be nice, though it will feel like 9:30pm due to the time zone change. And I've been up since 5. And... I've got my next trip to pack for!
Yes, my next trip is tomorrow. I'm going to Las Vegas for 4 days to work a trade show. I'll check in for that flight in a few minutes... even though I'm still 2,000 miles from home!
