In Salt Lake Again

Hello,

Leroy and I got up at 5:00 am. to get ready to get on the Metro at 6:12 am. It all went very efficiently as we had prepared many things the night before. Even though the alarm was set I managed to wake up at 3:00 and never really went back to solid sleep. Leroy was also restless towards morning. The train came on time as expected.

We spent a little bit of time figuring out where we were going in the airport. All of the people who knew what they were doing were ahead of us in the security, but it all moved well in spite of the long line. We even had a little time to sit and relax before they started loading the plane. Once on the plane the pilot announced that we would be leaving 30 minutes late because of weather in Chicago. That would shorten our hour of connection time, but hopefully not too much.

It turned out that we had to rush, but all was ok. Part of the problem is that we never know just how long it will take us to get from one concourse to the other. At least this plane left on time. That was good because the plan was to meet Miriam in the airport for the great car switch. It all worked almost perfectly with Miriam waiting in the cell phone lot till we came. She drove to the passenger pick up spot when we called. Then we could drive ourselves home without paying for parking. Notice how loosely I use the word home? I have developed the habit of calling any spot I lay my head, home. Is that good? I suspect so.

Our poor bodies do not know what to make of the time changes they are subjected to. We were in CDT about a month ago. Then it was on to MDT for two weeks before we spent two weeks in EDT. Now we are back in MDT for about a week. From here we will move to CDT for about another week and then it is on to EDT for another short stay. The hardest parts are eating and sleeping as I feel continually out of step.
