Day 015 of 2026

I am a little late in posting today. Today was a vacation travel day. Yeh, I did something I swore I wouldn’t do, I took a few days off and flew to Vermont to visit family. Started Trains, Planes, and Automobiles started off with Jesse taking me to the A train headed towards the airport.

Then a few hours in the airport where I walked all the terminals and got my step count in for the day.

While walking around the B terminal I found the mysterious alien that everyone says is hanging around the airport. He was busy eating Voodoo Donuts today.

Finally got on my flight to Chicago, because everyone loves to travel through Chicago in the Winter. Ended up with a dash between the B terminal and the E terminal. I thought I had an hour or so to make the connection. Nope, by the time I ran across the terminal they were boarding my outbound flight.

At least I got to see some neat walkways on my way. And then we sat there for 45 minutes past our departure time. Pilot came on and said he had no idea why they were holding us. But, I am not complaining because at the last minute my luggage showed up as being loaded on the flight. Ooops…. maybe I was the cause of the delay.

Arrived in Burlington, VT. Was able to get my rental car keys while waiting on my bags. Gotta love small airports when the rental car counter is next to the baggage claim.

And now I am in my hotel room for the evening. It was way too late to drive down to Middlebury, VT to my dad’s house, I would have kept him up way past his bedtime. I will take my time here in the morning and then do the drive South. Of course it is snowing here so I am hoping that the roads will be clear by the time I head that direction. My rental car is a little VW Jetta.

Anyways, that’s a wrap for today, I will see you all tomorrow.
