Back into the cold

Leaving New Orleans,,, we will miss the almost tropical flora and fauna and the warm, humid weather. Besides a couple of rain showers on Tuesday morning, it was perfect: over 70 deg. F. every day and mostly sunny. At least, the arctic cold wave at home seems to be over by now and it's "warming up" towards 40/45 deg. F. Nevertheless, not our climate.

Got up early, packed and had our little breakfast at the hotel before we learned that Uber's rates are different depending on demand. Airport rates were fluctuating between $ 49 and $ 33. So, we waited till 9 am, when prices dropped to $ 33 again, and had an Uber to the MSI Airport. Convenient little airport, no hustling and bustling, quick check-in and security check and free internet. What else could you wish? Our plane to Washington, DC, is parked at the gate and is supposed to be on time.

It also left on time, smooth 2-hour flight to Washington, DC, arrived 20 min. early. Snowstorms along the East coast, flights to New England and NY are cancelled, but doesn't affect us (or at least I think so). Departure to MUC is announced "on schedule" at 5:40 pm, a little over 2 hours still away.

8 am local Munich time: arrived on time, even a little earlier. Cramped, but uneventfull flight. Waiting for a train now.
