Day 1 of our tour

We wakened about 7:30 and went to the “mess hall” for breakfast about 8:30.  We were back home by 9:15 and greeted Tom and LuAnn who had taken their dogs to the kennel.  We made sandwiches for the day’s supper and finished our packing.  We drove Tom’s truck to the airport and parked it in long term parking.  We were shuttled to the airport where we waited from 11 until 2 when we left for Newark.  We had a very smooth flight, and I even caught an hour’s nap.  I always compliment the pilot if he has a good landing.  We went to a food court and ate our sandwiches and bought a drink.  We walked a mile from there to our waiting area.  We had to wait another 4 hours until our flight departed.  Airport living would be quite unexciting without a computer and the Internet.  We will have a meal when we are about an hour out of Newark and then plan to take a sleep aid to help us make it through the night.  We did take the opportunity to brush our teeth in the airport rest room.  That is a very great blessing compared to the one on the airplane.  I am already sleepy but may revive when we board and eat.  Hence the sleep aid.  Evelyn will definitely need one because she doesn’t sleep well even at home.  More soon.
