October 1 - On our way!

The day has finally arrived and we’re waiting here in the British Airways lounge at Dulles to board our flight.  Had we flown tomorrow instead of today we would have flown on an A 380.  Today it’s a 747. 

We had an uneventful ride up from Newport News.  It’s very nice having someone else doing the driving! We managed to get everything into three suitcases.  That’s the first time we’ve been able to do that in a long time.  It helped that we only had to pack for warm and warmer climates.  Of course we still have two very stuffed carryons. 

We were sent through TSA Pre-check for security and the line was very short.  I didn’t have to take off anything nor did I have to remove my laptop or iPad from my bag.  Al unfortunately beeped and had to remove the usual stuff .  We figured he’d have a problem because of the hardware in his arm.  Oh, well, it wasn’t too bad.

So, since there’s nothing really exciting to report, I’ll sign off for now.  Tomorrow at this time we'll be in Athens.
