Konnichiwa,
Genkides (I am fine. Thank you.) and hanging out in the terminal at Philadelphia International Airport waiting for leg 2 of my four leg journey to San Francisco. Next stop Washington, DC, then Chicago. Anticipated arrival in San Francisco is just before midnight.
And in addition to the Red Sox victory in game 1, I can celebrate the reconciliation of the only worry I truly had – my computer connected to the internet without problem! Thank you Paul Shaw, the technical coordinator….my new best friend!
The flight from Bangor followed the coastline on a picture perfect day – light fluffy cumulus clouds, bright sunshine. I was able to pick out Drakes Island quite clearly which brought back many wonderful memories from my childhood, and our most recent summer vacation (I could see the waves McKynzie!) and even pick out the Shorelands (but not the ping pong table).
Everything else was pretty uneventful – I mostly re-read all the etiquette tips, like making sure when I take my foot out of my shoe at my host family’s home to put my foot on the wooden part of the entry, not the stone or concrete, so as to be fastidious about not bringing dirt into the house……sounds like a good plan for our home!
My bag is supposedly checked through all the way to San Francisco, but because I am changing airlines in DC, they had to do some funky stuff on my luggage tag…….so the adventure may in fact truly be just beginning……stay tuned. I’ll check in next from San Francisco.
Trivia Question? What’s the name of the famous bridge in SF?
