Gack! The problem with living in a second-tier airport's vicinity is having to get up so blinking early for a 6:00 a.m. flight to get to somewhere that has flights to where you actually want to go. However, one benefit of a smaller airport is a kindlier and very professional team of TSA agents even though they were being incredibly detailed about every step of their process. I guess things do even out.
The flight from Charlottesville to Atlanta was full. It has been a blessedly long time since I had 6 or 7 children between the ages of 0 and 6 seated in my immediate vicinity on an airplane. I was amazed that they were all extremely quiet and well behaved. I cannot say the same for the small dog in one woman's carry-on which barked about every 3 minutes. The flight from Atlanta to Seattle was also full and one of the bumpiest I've been on in quite a while. Otherwise all went smoothly.
Well, there's always the general chaos in a big airport associated with getting your luggage then finding where to get a shuttle bus to your hotel, but who's counting that. The hotel (Doubletree by Hilton at Seattle's airport) is very nice where we have a large room. Since we had been up since about midnight Seattle time, the first thing on the agenda was to lie down flat for a while. Second was to get some lunch. Third was to lie down flat again.
