The adventure begins

Not sure if it's my plane, but it's at the right gate
Well, I've made my way to SeaTac (the Seattle/Tacoma Airport) south of Seattle, rode the three-hour shuttle from Bellingham, and navigated the security situation. And my plane is now scheduled to leave almost an hour later than scheduled. I get worried when they go from a 1:09pm departure to a 2:00pm one. In my experience, that happens often when they don't really know when it will be available for boarding. Sigh.

My connecting flight in Amsterdam still gives me more than two hours, even with the late departure, to catch it. I'll know more when I actually board and we take off. But what the heck, it's begun! And look what I saw yesterday in Bellingham on my way to the gym:

The first crocus of the season! Or the year, or whatever. It makes me look forward to spring, and more of them! Now to enjoy my salad before traipsing over to the gate.

  9. Going through security is a real nightmare. It's a wonder I get anything back when I'm going through holding up my pants as they make you take your belt off.
