Year 3 Day 336- “Living the Dream”. Tuesday, 4/02/2024. Day 1 of 28-day European Vacation – Last night we stayed at the Hampton Inn in Somerset, Kentucky. It feels like we are going backwards. This is where we lived when we bought the original old house and started the Williamsburg. I forgot how much I don’t like Hampton Inn’s breakfast. Yuk!! Hotel life is not fun. After breakfast we headed back to the Williamsburg to say our last goodbye. It’s been fun lady. She is a great house.
Heading to the airport and tornadoes are expected at our take off time. Lots of nervous energy is flowing through my body. Check in was easy at the Blue Grass Airport in Lexington, Kentucky. Justin dropped us off at 1:15pm. This is a really nice friendly airport. We are flying American Airlines today. Our first flight is to Philadelphia where we pick up our flight to Paris. Sitting in the waiting area is so funny. Everyone is in their own little box on their phones. Our plane arrived at 3:18pm to pick us up in Kentucky.
We are flying on a CRJ-200 which has 50 seats. The CRJ-200 has an excellent safety record with no major incidents reported since its introduction in 1991. Production of this plane ended in 2006, but many remain in service. At 4:10pm the seatbelt light is off, and it seems to be smooth sailing. Ha, I am such a nervous flyer, not a seasoned air traveler at all. Our flight attendant did not seem happy. We left Lexington and it was really sunny. By 4:25pm the fasten your seatbelt light came back on. From there on there was some turbulence. The seatbelt light never went off. Put me on a cruise ship anytime over flying. At 5:02pm we started going down —- no no no I mean descending to land. We landed in Philadelphia at 5:30pm.
Our next flight leaves at 9:05pm from terminal a Philadelphia International airport. We landed in terminal f. It was a long walk from terminal a to terminal f. Time to find some food and maybe a drink. I really hate flying. I think about food when nervous. Look at this great recipe. Can’t wait to make it.
Things to ponder today! Have to leave you thinking.
Kraft Macaroni and Cheese –Here’s a link to today’s Amazon recommendation: https://amzn.to/3UxSLkn Not the healthiest but is easy to prepare and yummy with a good healthy salad and or a vegetable. Works wells in our new world where we will be cooking mostly on the barbecue at a construction site. A good one pot filling pasta.
