BWI Airport - Sun, 26 Nov 2023. 2:45pm.
We started wrapping up our Thanksgiving trip this morning when we packed our bags and said goodbye to Hawk's parents. That was only the start of wrapping up as we still have to travel home— clear across the country.
The drive down to the airport went smoothly. We planned extra time in our schedule in case of Sunday-after-Thanksgiving traffic slowdowns. I remember driving home from Thanksgiving visits years ago and Sunday traffic being awful. Well, it was smooth sailing this time. I think a big part of that was us hitting the road at 11am. The worst slowdowns probably occur mid-afternoon.
Arriving plenty early to BWI airport seems ironic because our flight out is delayed. At first it was 5-10 minutes, then 15-20, now just over 30. Meanwhile our connecting flight at BNA (Nashville) is showing on time. Thankfully we picked a routing with an 85 minute connection instead of a faster one of 55-60 minutes. So even if we're late 35 minute on arrival we won't miss our connection or even have to run to catch it... though we will have to walk quickly.
