Being on the train is tiring business. At least it means that we’re in Portland again.
Toot toot!

MADE IT!

We had to RUN across Denver, but we made it.
If the view looks familiar it’s because we’re in exactly the same two seats on exactly the same model aircraft. Back into the air for another 3 hours, but home earlier than expected!
The problem is now we’re tired, hungry, thirsty, and on United Airlines, where they propose to do nothing to help us with our first three or four problems.
I guess at least we’re headed towards Portland. I hope.
En-route

Some dried up looking rivers there about 90 minutes before landing in Denver…
Wondering what this dam/river system is.
Listening to podcasts.
You can tell you’re here by the roof…
It’s very exciting
Aside
Apparently if there is any lightening within 5 mi of the airport they won’t let the ramp operators do their job. We are stuck waiting to load a plane until this infernal energy from the miasmic clouds decides to become interested in some other part of this deity-forsaken land.
And now for more fun…

Airport closed for lightning. We wait.
Oh Orlando…
I remembered this train!
Bev seems to like this train as well!
In other news Orlando TSA is the SPECIAL kind of terrible at their jobs, unfriendly, and gives terrible patdowns. I could have a fair bit of just about anything under this kilt and they definitely do not know the kilt patdowns routine. I nearly managed to cause an insurrection while waiting to opt out though. It really motivated the guy to find a screener to get me out of there, that was fun.
Also it’s a pretty old terminal. And there is no coffee on this side of security. The situation is dire. Next stop: Denver. Hopefully less dire.
It is time
Image
Time for terror…
Image
At least it’s clear and wet
Aside
I’m drinking probably the worst water that I’ve had this trip, and it came out of a soda machine. Go figure!
I think it’s because they need to change their dispenser’s water filter. Back out into the lava heat we go.
A rebel spy!

We went on Star Tours, and Bev almost got us killed by being uncovered as rebel spy! The tradecraft is weak in this one.
