DAY 1
Off to another adventure! As usual, I waited late to finish
my packing and pick up last minute items so bedtime didn’t happen until
11. 6:30 a.m. Out of the house on time
and reached Melodie’s for our Stu shuttle to the airport.
Our tickets gave us the TSA PreCk which I had never
experienced before. This was great! Checked our boarding passes, no taking off
shoes or pulling out liquids or computer for the conveyor belt! Just put it on the belt, walk through, and
pick up items to proceed to the gate. The TSA attendant explained that this was
something that is randomly assigned to various passengers. Melodie doesn’t think so since she’s been
“gifted” with this “pass” the last few times she’s flown and she said, “I’m not
THAT lucky!”
The extra time allowed us to have our breakfast of boiled
eggs and yogurt while we waited. Another cost-saving measure was that they
asked for volunteers to check their bags so we didn’t have to lug around our
suitcase carry-on and we checked it for FREE!
Don’t know why they do spot checks as you board but they
went through my backpack carry-on as I boarded.
Reached Atlanta early for a long walk to the other end of
the airside but it was nice to stretch our legs. Sat for 14 minutes and then
got on board for Salt Lake. The 3 hour
flight went by quickly with a Muppets movie, purchased lunch, and now some
journaling.
Saw a sign as we boarded:
“MOBILE DEVICES JUST GOT MOBILER”.
Mobiler? Is that even a word, Delta?
My Word program doesn’t think so!
Oh well.
We’ll reach SLC around 3:30 EST to jump a quick flight to
Kalispell and arrive by 4:45 MST. Some
grocery shopping to do, check in to hotel, and eat dinner before collapsing
into bed.
Tomorrow is our fun-filled drive on Hwy 2 through Essex,
walking a rope bridge, and through Goatlick and ending up in Two Medicine, Mt.
for the next few days. And the hiking
begins!
