With travel there is always a first….
We had an early rise and were out of Montesano by 6:10 AM
Arrived at the airport at 8:10 AM- heavy traffic but no real issues.
TSA was a breeze. Maybe it took 15 minutes. I was happy to see that one agent was asking if people wanted facial ID or not. My guy was cranky and didn’t ask but I was not going to decline anyway because I have had it twice before.
Boarded on time but sitting at the gate because a neighboring plane was docked incorrectly. 10:35 AM. Finally took off at 11:34, just a bit behind schedule.
Montesano to Seattle -2 hours
Arrival for International- 3 hours
Seattle to Chicago – 3 1/2 hours
Chicago layover – 4 ½ hours
Chicago to Madrid -8 hours Madrid layover – 1 ½ hour
Missed flight – had to buy a new ticket and another 3 hour wait
Madrid to Porto – 1 ½ hours Porto
Airport to Albergue – ½ hour
Basically 27 hours of travel
I am done with airports right now but still have a few hours left….I have walked five miles mostly in the Madrid airport. It is a good thing I am young🤣🤣🤣🤣!
I was going to finish this blog post in Porto but think I will sign off for the night, morning, or afternoon?
Hasta Luego from Madrid.
Have a great trip in your happy place! I love following along.
