Today was rather uneventful. Woke up and packed up my belongings. After a nice hot shower and a last walk-through we headed out and Jeff gave me a ride to the airport. It’s simply amazing how easy getting to RDU is - no traffic whatsoever. I’m not used to that.
After arriving at the airport and saying our goodbyes, I printed my boarding pass and breezed through security. On the way to the gate I stopped by a used book kiosk. What a brilliant idea for an airport - I’ve never seen that before but it makes perfect sense to have one there. Bravo Raleigh!
I didn’t have to wait too long to board (which was way better than the LGA fiasco). It was just enough time check email and enjoy a banana-nut muffin.
As I type this, I’m on the flight with a can of Minute Maid Cran-Apple cocktail to my right and a smile on my face. For whatever reason, almost all the passengers on the flight are sitting near the rear of the cabin, but the awesome flight attendant allowed me sit up near the front where it was less crowded. Politeness and a smile go a long way - especially in the south.
Overall this has been an extremely enjoyable trip. It was great to catch up with my buddy Jeff and explore his world for a bit. His family and friends in North Carolina are beyond fantastic and hospitable. The weather could have cooperated a little better but it really didn’t hamper any plans that we made and we had a fantastic time regardless. I’m very glad I booked this trip and can’t wait to come back for a second visit.
