Travel Diary

This day (night) started in the air, but continued when I landed in Chicago. I had a layover there for a few hours. Not much to do at 6am in the morning. Okay, not much to do anytime of the day at an airport. But I walked around and saw some of the places I’d seen a year or so before, when I’d last landed there for a layover.

Then it was time for my American Airlines flight. At the boarding gate, the agents seemed to have to repeatedly tell people that it wasn’t time for them to be in line, and to scoot back. I guess some flyers are just paranoid about having overhead space. Makes sense given how many flights over overbooked and how many carry bags onto the flight since they started charging all the time for checked luggage. Plus, they do lose bags on occasion. Can’t expect people not to worry, though I see a lot of folks do a gate check when asked.

My seat was exit row, so plenty of leg room. The row was full, but I was dreadfully sleepy now and slept off and on for most of the way. Then we landed in Florida.

My friend Serena picked me up and we drove to Publix for some food. I was also nearly collapsing from being so tired, but another hour or two would not kill me. At home, we had some pizza for lunch and then I finally rested for a few hours. A very busy day of travel had worn me out.
