Last night there sounded like a might fine storm brewing. It was still going when we got up this morning. Our drive to the airport was a wet and gusty one, but we made it there in the allotted amount of time and in one piece. The lines at the airport were tiny. We were there just before it looked like things stared to get busy. While waiting at the gate, we ran into Teresa-the owner of Los Dos Hermanos (eat there, it s yummy!) who was there helping her mom get on a plane to El Salvador. We talked to her for a few minutes, did some people watching and then boarded our first plane. We knew this was going to be a long day of travel, so in the planning of this trip (which has been almost a year in the making) we saved for first class to make the long flight tolerable. It was nice not being packed in like a sardine. I dozed through most of the first flight, which happened to be the longer of the two. The we had a slight layover in Dallas, Texas. After a meal and some moving around we boarded our second and final flight to Richmond, Virginia. On this flight they gave us hot nuts. Who knew in first class you got hot nuts! The couple in the seats across the isle from us decided to play some sort of obnoxious as hell slot/casino game on their iPad with the sound all the way up. Even after giving them my best "burn/die/really?" face they kept going. Eventually they stopped to sleep. I slept more and next thing I knew we were getting ready to touch down in Richmond.
We got our bags, picked up the rental car and drove the hour or so drive to Colonial Williamsburg. We are staying in the Williamsburg Lodge. We've only seen it at night, but it is lovely! Tomorrow we'll get out and sight see. I can't wait!
