Day 1
On Our Way!
September 23, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F
Chris is taking us to the airport this morning. We're starting off at LGA this time, since our first stop is going to be Detroit. The sun hasn't even come up yet but I don't mind. I prefer getting an early start when we travel.Read more

Day 1
Where is Everybody?
September 23, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F
Thanks to it being an early Sunday morning, there's no traffic at all. I guess that everyone is still in bed fast asleep. If we'll didn't have a flight to catch, I'd still be in bed too! Right now we're makng good time and should get to LGA very soon.Read more

Day 1
Checking In
September 23, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F
Checking in was quick and painless since it's still so early. There wasn't even anyone ahead of us on line. The worker who checked us in was telling us that he had gone to Beijing last year and loved it. This makes us even more excited to start our vacation!Read more

Day 1
Security Check
September 23, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F
I guess the airport seemed so empty because everyone is on the TSA security line. We got on the line expecting the worst but it moved a lot faster than we thought it would. Even going through the X-ray check was quick. Now on to Gate C16!Read more

C16
September 23, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F
We're here at Gate C16 waiting to board the plane. Rather than the standard seating area, the area is set up like a restaurant with charging stations at every seat. There's been a lot of construction going on at the airport and it's nice to see some of the results. It's a lot more comfortable here than it used to be.Read more

Day 1
Waiting
September 23, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F
Free WiFi and chargers for the phones makes the waiting time much more bearable. Having charging stations available to everyone is a great idea and I'm hoping that this idea starts catching on at other airports. It's always better to get on the plane with everything fully charged. It's almost time to start lining up to board. The time seemed to pass by quickly!Read more

Ready to Board
September 23, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F
It's just about time to go and people are starting to line up to get on the plane. I hope that we don't have a problem finding a storage spot for our bags! It seems like everyone likes to carry on their luggage nowdays. Not only do you save money by not checking a bag, you save time not having to go to the baggage claim area. Also, although it's rare, there's no chance of the airline losing your bags. It's never happened to me before. In fact, I don't even know anyone who's had that happen.Read more

Boarding
September 23, 2018 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 61 °F
We're seated in the exit row again, as usual. As we were settling in the stewardess came and asked if we are willing to help passengers in need if there in any trouble. We said yes but I wonder how legally binding an agreement like that really is. I'm sure that if there are any problems the only person that I'm going to be helping is Kathy!Read more

Be Prepared

Kathy's taking her exit row responsibilities seriously. Right now she's studying the safety cards in the seat pocket. If the time comes, she'll be ready.
