Sunshine opened my eyes this morning as cool air breezed through the balcony screen into the bedroom. Our new flight didn't leave until 6PM so the day was in front of us. The bags were still packed and after a coffee, energy was seeping from my pores. I had to move. After 80 sit-ups and a couple of "planks", I plugged in my ear bits and took to the streets. I walked and ran for over an hour. The streets were full of tourists, locals and "Rolling Thunder" visiting Arlington Cemetery and viewing the Potomac River and its quite elegant Memorial and Roosevelt bridges. Not a cloud in the sky, the air dry, the trees at full leave, brilliantly green.
This time we leave from Dulles Airport. I sit in the KLM Lounge typing and sipping white wine in a soft but modern chair. What a difference a day can make. Yesterday we were amidst hundreds of other frustrated passengers just like us, iPhones pasted to our ears trying to rebook for today.
Today is better. If the plan takes off it as planned, I'll upgrade it to excellent.
