BOS

Again, I was very surprised at how few travelers there were July 3. When I've arrived at these counters before, the "mouse mazes" have been chock full with people dragging their carryon and checkin bags behind them. Not this time

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.
