Final Approach

My direct flight from Richmond to Boston on this day before the Fourth of July was smooth and on time. There were no delays at all, which, again, was surprising considering all the warnings that had begun to appear about this being the most heavily travelled week of the year.

In the photo above, I was, as I recall, cruising at somewhere near 34,000 feet at a leisurely 550 mph! 

In these next two photos, I was making my final approach into Logan International Airport with Boston Harbor down below and central Boston off in the distance.

Holiday Travel

 

My trip to Massachusetts began as usual in Richmond where I hopped aboard this Embraer 190 (shown below) bound for Boston. Having braced myself for holiday delays, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there were almost no queues. Where was everybody? Had they already left? Did they never leave? I'm not sure. In any case, it was an enjoyable trip. I look forward to sharing more of it with you.

Travel

I'm traveling again, so I will not be posting for several days. Hope to be able to catch a few photos along the way. So stay safe, stay cool, and avoid the smoke from our neighbors up north, if you can. :-) See you soon.

Keen Targhee

Ready for my next 500 +/- miles.

Key West?!

 

Headed to Fort Lauderdale this past weekend, but our pilot had to take us on a more "scenic route" to skirt some severe thunderstorms in the area. So I'm guessing these are the Keys down below? :-)

Still ran into some rough turbulence upon approach, though.

Hotel Novoa

 

 

I was quite comfortable in my room at the Hotel Novoa in Sarria. Which was good, because I started my trek along the Camino the next day. 

Lang

Wittenberg

Leonardo

 

Stayed at the Leonardo Royal in Berlin Alexanderplatz.

 

 

You know you're in Germany when you flush your toilet with a wall panel rather than a handle . . .

and when you've got to pull out your adapters to plug in. :-)

Berlin Bound

 

Finally! After several hours of waiting, my connecting flight to Berlin is being prepared for departure. Now for many more hours of sitting and waiting aboard this 777 as it wings its way across the Atlantic.

Weed Whacker

First leg of my trip back to Eastern Europe--Newark International Airport aboard the "weed whacker" as someone I know affectionately called it. Weed whacker or not, it got me to Newark in plenty of time to catch my flight to Berlin. Thanks, United Express!
