On My Way!

I'm on my way to Bangalore.

I swapped a dead hard drive in the storage array on my way to the airport. My cell phone is going insane with automated alerts thanks to a networking issue at the office, but there's nothing i can do for that here.

Check-in with Air France would have been faster if the two women in front of me didn't have two trolleys loaded with bags --each! At least security was quick --I opted for the cancer booth rather than the groping 'cause it was faster.

I had lunch at Five Guys Burgers, so my arteries are probably as stiff as a board now. Possibly my last taste of beef in two weeks. :-) It was a half-mile further down the concourse than I estimated so at least I got a good walk in before my flight.

I'm now waiting at gate A20. Dulles has free wifi which is why I love them more than ice cream right now. Best of all, I scored a seat next to an electrical outlet so I can ensure my toys have a full charge before the first hop, a six hour flight to Paris.

Dulles has free ice cream?

Oh. Never mind. Too bad, because free ice cream and free wifi, together, might be almost enough to make up for those dumb "mobile lounges".

Almost.

If they had free wifi and free ice cream, I'd never leave. In fact, I could do 90% of my regular work from here.

I love that feeling of anticipation at the beginning of a trip, especially a big trip.

Sounds exciting! I can't wait to hear all about it.

What kind of aircraft will you be winging to Paree? Airbus A320?

It was a Boeing 777; the Paris to Bangalore leg was an Airbus 340.
