We're back home from visiting Hawk's parents in Pennsylvania for the past 11 days. We walked through our own front door 20 minutes ago. I quickly unpacked my bag, now Hawk is unpacking hers after partially sorting through the mail. We have a lot of mail, almost all of it political mailers for highly contested races in next week's primary.
The trip home today was easy if a bit boring. We had all kinds of time in the schedule so we didn't have to rush or fret over minor delays. We left her parents' place after lunch then promptly made a pit stop for road snacks and drinks. We drove down to Baltimore for BWI airport. As I've explained before, BWI is the most logical airport for traveling to my inlaws even though it's ~90 miles away from them. We had a few hours of slack time at the airport.
The nonstop flight to SJC was long and boring. We landed a bit late but, again, it didn't bother us much. The one thing that was perhaps most frustrating about the trip was having to wait 30 minutes for our checked bag. Southwest Airlines at SJC seemed to have just one baggage team at 9pm, and there were 4 arriving flights stacked up. That wait would be more frustrating if we both had to be up early in the morning for work, but we don't— today's Saturday. And we're both retired. Every day is Saturday. 🤣
