DE-troit

Well, yes, I've managed a second posting within a month. Going boffo! Here's hoping I can be more prolific.

Flew to Detroit via Philadelphia yesterday. My pre-flight rush resulted in:
a) not being able to overnight some paper work I desperately needed to get to someone;
b) not printing out a coupon for long term parking; and
c) not being able to drop my new betta fish (named Persia, but I call him Fishie) off at a friends. Here's hoping the vacation feeder does it's job and I come home to a live fish. If not, I'll have to wrestle another $3.97 out of my budget for a new fish.

This is the first time I've used Long Term parking. I opted for a place in Revere, right off of 1A. I had to leave my keys with the car, which has me sincerely wondering if the car will be there when I return.

US Air -- hence the layover -- was the carrier and my flight to Philly was not full. Not in the least. Not only were there empty seats, but there were empty rows. I had an exit row to myself, and I didn't even have to pay extra for it.

I did, however, have to pay $15 to check in my bag, and $2 if I wanted a bottle of water.

Philly -- like many newly renovated airports, offers lots of shopping. Including a UPS store! Getting those papers off means I may have health insurance for the month of October. Or I may be looking for someone to adopt me.

US Air is located in the new terminal at Detroit airport. New as in, opened a week ago. The balloons were still up. My brother Kevin, despite not recalling what airline I was on, managed to find me.

Dinner was a disappointing overly salted meal at Bahama Breeze. My recommendation: stick with the coconut shrimp.
