What a way to start!!
Thursday, August 15, 2024 Well, there’s usually not much to report on the first travel day. I Left home at 7:15, met Ole at Betsy’s at 8:15, was at the airport and through security and at my gate well before nine! So far, so good. Hmmm! The flight on the gate’s display isn’t mine! Between dropping my bag and arriving here they’ve changed the gate. Oh well, lots of time and it’s just a few gates down. All is well until it’s almost time to board. They say there’s a small mechanical problem and it shouldn’t take long to fix. Oh, if only…after they’ve pushed back the time two or three times, they start suggesting that people might want to find another way to get to Atlanta! That begins the shuffle from Atlanta flight to Atlanta flight (They leave Terminal E every couple of hours) and we learn that all the flights are oversold and overbooked and it doesn’t matter that you have a standby ticket if there aren’t any available...
Goody. Another vicarious trip for me to take, with two of my favorite people.
