Got up way too early, packed too early, down to check out too early. Got the hotel to get us a taxi, too early, so were at the airport far too early.

We were let onto the gate bridge, while the passengers were still coming off the plane so that was interesting. As before the plane wasn’t that full so Joe and I had three seats to ourselves.
