W e are at Dulles airport, luggage checked in and thru Security. THe actual drive time including a lunch stop was 9:20 (from breakfst in Guilford, ct) to arrival at Best Western motel about 5:20. See photo of luggage stuffed into suburu.
My Jersey friends will smile when they learn that the charming Trenton restaurant suggested for lunch is not open on Saturday. After wending our way thru snowy Trenton streets we ended up at a Panera Bread in PA.
The Best Western is letting Terry park for free for the time we are gone. Nice people. Other nice peole we have met include a skycap whose large cart we were told we could borrow to move around the 5 duffle bags. Bad info but he was very polite when he found us. We also met two women on their way to Iraq, working for a private contractor. At least one had been with the armed forces and said it has become less safe. I already feel connected to a bigger world, where fear does not have to rule every interaction.
We will begin to load in about an hour and then i"ll crash for awhile. On to Istanbul!
Hey there, we just looked up your flight to Istanbul and it looks like you're about 20 minutes from landing. Very exciting! Be safe and we love you.
