The rest of the Nashville story

August 3, 2008
Printing the boarding passes was a snap, and catching the shuttle just as easy. Checking in for a flight has become so technological that we hardly need to speak to a human. ID's are scanned, boarding passes previously printed are scanned, town of destination inputted (is that a word?). Bags dropped off under a sign that says "Place bags to be checked here".

Security was normal--take off shoes and any metal--and hope you don't buzz or ding as you walk thru the scanner.

Flight very full--good seats--almost no service ( drinks about 3/4 of the way thru the flight). Lots of happy teenagers having loud fun. My book "The Memoirs of Cleopatra" is interesting (I'm about 200 pages into the 950+ page book)

We arrived at DFW-- AHEAD OF SCHEDULE! ! ! The pilot as he was making his ending remarks told us that we were 15 minutes early and added TELL YOUR FRIENDS. ---- so I am.

We got our bags quickly and called our personal limousine service (son-in-law) and he was already waiting outside. As we got into his car, he handed each of us a bottle of water. Nice service! Nki was driving home from Celebration (the youth version of Cursillo) so we didn't see her, but I talked to her later. We went to Arlington, loaded the yellow Smart Car, and headed out. We were home by 6. Still have laundry to do, groceries to buy, and some unpacking, but it'll get done. A good trip. Thanks for enjoying it with us.

This is how our garage looks when both the Smarts are at home and Sara is out running around.
