I’m in Minneapolis! I had to change planes after all, which surprised me. If they’re going to put you at a different gate on a different plane with a different crew…why does it have the same flight number? Seems silly to me. I didn’t have time for much in the airport; by the time I got from one gate to the next (plus a bathroom stop) I only had a few minutes to sit before it was time to board again.
Flying out of National was pretty cool. I have only ever flown into it, and only once, so I hadn’t seen the view. I could see the Washington Monument, the Capitol, the WWII Memorial (which I have yet to see in person), the National Cathedral, the Watergate hotel, both the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials, and so forth.
This has taken me so long to write that it’s almost time to turn off electronic equipment again!
So close, yet so far away!
