Life After Windbird, Day 117: Ready for Take-off
Date: Wednesday, December 7, 2016
Weather: Partly Sunny; High Temp 48, Low 34 degrees F
Location: At Home in The Studio, Falmouth, MA
Tomorrow I fly to Nashville to visit with my sister, so I spent part of today getting ready for take-off. Then I went to pick Sam and Jonah up from school. Once we got home, I launched into a laundry folding frenzy while the boys did homework and played with Molly and Joey next door. When Heather got home, she fixed a great taco dinner for us and Ollie organized an after-dinner imaginary boat trip to the North Pole with Sam and Jonah’s help. Tomorrow is Jed’s birthday, so I gave him my present tonight. I then said goodbye and headed home. I immediately got online to check-in for my Southwest flight tomorrow. I have never flown Southwest and I have never actually done the online check-in for any flight. Mark always did that. When I checked in, I got a printed boarding pass with no seat assignment. I thought we always had advance seating assignments, so I emailed Alan and Helaine Kanegsberg who are Southwest pros. Helaine called to explain to me that Southwest doesn’t have assigned seating, just an order of boarding dependent on the number on your boarding pass. So all is well. I am set to fly out of Boston at 6:25 pm.
