Live-blogging a day of travel

7:00: I have posted on the blog. Took my pills. Downstairs to have breakfast and clean up the kitchen.
Got side-tracked: watered my plants.
Laundry folded and put away.

8:30: Finish packing. Trying to do just carryon so I must limit myself: 3 days = 2 changes. One will be clean enough to re-wear. Room for my walking shoes - got to protect my feet.

9:10: Shower and dress.
Stopped to listen to Elgar's Enigma.

9:52: Doing some online work, like uploading my meter readings. Checking mail and FB.

10:15: My husband went to check on some things at work. My son and I are trying to figure out when to eat.

10:18: He's back and we're ready to load the car.

11:45: We're on the road. Sunny and clear.

1:00: On parking bus.

1:25: At gate. Flight delayed. Our connections are tight. We'll see what happens.

2:15: Plane is here with maintenance issues. 

3:05: On board. About 40 minutes late. 

5:11: Made it. My son stayed at the gate to pick up our gate checked bags. I raced ahead. They caught up with me just as we got to the gate. 

We really wanted to make this flight because we have business class seats on a dinner flight.

7:20: Watched Colin Firth in Woody Allen's "Magic in the Moonlight". Meal was a hit sandwich. Not so great.

7:10 CST: Knitting over Port Arthur, birthplace of my husband who is asleep beside me. 

8:00: Landed but no gate for us. Waiting for one to clear.  

8:33: Quick stop at the United Club.

9:00: First Class to San Antonio.

10:05: Landed. Waited half an hour for the hotel shuttle. Lineup at check-in.

11:30: I'm tired. Finally bed.
