On our way!

Off to the airport with luggage for 4 plus carry- ons causing serious crowding in our vehicle.  Parked offsite due to extraordinary construction at airport and pre- holiday traffic.

Our plan - to have plenty of time to get through TSA ; late lunch in the terminal and, perhaps, chatting with Ellen ( if our International Gates are close to each other) who is on her way to Madrid with 40+ teenagers for a Soccer Tournament.  Odd coincidence for us to be traveling on the same day.  

Got to the airport in short order, excellent parking space at Park n Fly lot and quick shuttle ride to the terminal.  Immediately ran into Ellen and her Carolina Rapids Soccer group!  Fast hello and hugs ( she was working :)), easy check- in and NICE TSA agent.   Lunch at the same restaurant where we ate before Aaron's graduation trip to Ireland...this is becoming a habit.  And now for a 2 hour wait before boarding!

Well, we did have Pinkberry's frozen yogurt while waiting!  Cell phones, books, and iPad fill time well.
