Today was just a long travel day. Instead of complaining about being tired or about chintzy airplane snacks, we focus on the fact that we just zipped through the sky in a metal tube and arrived at our destination the same day. We remember that our recent ancestors, if they had ventured so far from home, would have done so during a multi-week or longer trip fraught with peril.
The drive to LAX was quick and smooth with just a little traffic as we got close. Check-in was also smooth. The flight was just under three hours to Houston where we had a short rest for the quick flight to New Orleans.
It was already dark when we arrived in Houston so couldn’t see much by the time we arrived in New Orleans. Picked up our car and actually headed to Slidel, LA, for the night.
Really, it was an uneventful day, which is what you want when traveling.
One high point: the flight attendants on the second flight were super personable. They had had a long day too and were just as ready as us to be done. That didn’t stop them from providing great service with a smile.
