Home A Visit to Jerry & Linda in North Carolina <<< June 16-20, 2021 >>> 2021

At 0649, it’s 70o at Jerry and Linda’s home in North Carolina. We jumped into a game of Splendor before the B&B gang arrived and a light breakfast followed. We checked all flights and they appear to be on time. We left at 1100 in a light rain in front of Tropical Depression Claudette. We turned in the rental car, checked 3 bags and headed for security. TSA Pre-check went quickly, though we spotted Matt and Julia in one of the slower lines. From there we hiked out to Terminal E, stopping along the way for a couple of calzones and a few slices of pizza. We boarded early, and were buttoned up by 1427 for the scheduled 1445 departure. We then sat for 40 minutes, on the ramp. According to the flight deck, we were waiting for a push-back crew. We finally left the gate, and, fortunately, were #2 for departure on 18L. We made up nearly all of the time lost, in flight, as the estimated flight times are well padded. We quickly picked up our checked bags and Sal drove us all home for the end of the trip. As previously planned, we made a box of vermicelli with 2 cans of clam sauce for dinner, and at 2140, it’s 80o.
