Marlene made a nice breakfast of bacon, bagels and an egg casserole. Afterwards, I spent some time with Phil and Marlene working to reconnect a number of wireless devices to the new SSID.
Concerned about the number of spring break travelers, we rolled to the airport about 11:30 am. Marlene was flying to Sacramento on the same Southwest flight with Sharon and I. Checking the luggage was relatively easy. While there were long lines at other check-in counters, it seems like everyone who was flying Southwest just had carry-ons!
We breezed through security with CLEAR and TSA Pre. With some time to kill, the three of us got a table at Jose Cuervo Tequileria right next to our gate. We had some chips, salsas and guacamole.
The Southwest flight to Sacramento boarded on time at 2:00 pm. Boarding with B25 and B26, Sharon and I sat in a row towards the back with Marlene. The flight pulled away from the gate on time, but then sat on the taxi way for almost 45 minutes. The pilot said that there were 18 planes in front of us.
We were on the ground about 20 minutes late just before 4:30 pm. The adventure began for Sharon and I. It took about 45 minutes to get off the plane and get our luggage. I left Sharon with the luggage (two big bags and two golf bags) and got in a long line for a shuttle to the East Lot. It took over 30 minutes to get a shuttle, get to the parking lot and drive back to pick her up. With a 30 minute drive home, it took an hour and forty-five minutes from the time we landed to get home. We got home about 6:15 pm.
It was a very nice trip.
