10/18–Flying home

Well, this is the end of our North Eastern saga. It’s been great. The morning starts off fine, until we sit in traffic for at least 20 minutes getting to the Thrifty drop off, only to find out that we can’t drop the car off there. We have to go to the airport.  No one told us that! And to top it all off the Thrifty rep there is a real jerk – first of all ignoring us for all of about 5 minutes while we stood patiently waiting, only to be rudely told to go to the airport! Sheesh.  We’re irritated!

More traffic, but we manage to make it to the airport in under 15 minutes.  We drop off the car, tell the agent about our experience (as well as the car’s condition) and he was very accommodating. So now we’re much more relaxed. Until the Delta terminal check in when, despite being a Delta Amex card carrying passenger, and paying for our tickets with the darn card, we don’t get our bags for free.  What? When did that change? And why do I have this card?

$50 later, we arrive at the United lounge (thank you for a better credit card with better benefits!) and waste away the hour and a half before our flight with coffee and doughnut holes.  Yum!

Then it’s bye bye Boston!  See ya next time!
