Heading home. Last flight of the year

On the way to the airport Sunday, I realized I'd forgotten my wallet. I did have my passport, though I didn't need ID with clear. I spent the week making payments with my phone, which was an interesting experience. I asked at places if I could pay by phone, which felt weird but only had one place that didn't have capability and luckily a friend paid. I survived but I am planning on packing my wallet for any 2024 trips.

It's been 12 days since I've been in the airport. Back again for my last trip of the year (fingers crossed)

I don't have a big sweet tooth, but Nerds are one of my weaknesses. I snagged these from a Halloween bag in the Austin office.

A busted gym in the hotel had me walking around the grounds of the Texas State Capital

An afternoon walk in Potsdam. Reminds me of walking in the woods in Virginia. So different from Colorado, more leaves on the ground, the smell of earth and autumn in a way we don't get out west.

Double charging in case things really done go smooth on this trip

This was supposed to be the view. 4 hours from now. Instead a broken plane with a fluid issue has me de-planing in Denver with fingers crossed for another ride. I expect a few flights to completely fall apart each year and this is likely one of them.

Been traveling too much and miss this view

As much as I've traveled, I've rarely seen Virginia Beach or Newport News from the air. A few pics leaving town as I end another trip

Memory lane day, driving around Norfolk and Virginia Beach. I used to come down here and surf and play volleyball. Rode down this board walk many times, day and night. Looks similar and different, like an echo of the past.
