Destinations are great!

Destinations are great! but sometimes the trip to get there, isn't.

Just returned from a whirlwind week in Maine. It was super fun to see all the favorite kids and neighbors and supper clubs. We got out on our boat on 3-Mile Pond.  We got to cook and eat food with family. We got to not-fish at Pleasant Pond.  We got lobster. We experienced record heat and humidity. And it went, sadly, so fast, that we were suddenly, back in rental cars and airports and headed west. 

Some travel observations:
Newark , NJ, the first of our three flights of the day, is a place where we welcome All to America-- It was the least friendly airport ever-- just to get to the terminal, required a bus ride under the bowels of lost luggage hell-- it was a maze of conveyor belts and what looked like abandoned golf carts. 

QUESTION: those circular plastic "seat covers" that automatically circle your toilet bowel at the wave of a hand: - are they sterile?  are they endlessly fresh or does the same cover just go 'round and 'round in an unsanitary illusion of  a circle?  Are they recycle-able?

Auto flush: don't you hate that BEFORE you get your pants up, the auto-flush sends a turbo charge of bidet quality sprays all over your back side?  And, knowing this for the last 10 years, why doesn't the new iteration remedy the problem?

BONUS PROBLEM: no TP in stall #1, discovered AFTER you're "in progress"! 

Judd is stunned: a line, WHA?  at the Men's room!!

TURNS OUT: Urinals, are not one -size fits all!  Who knew?

We were delayed on our third flight, San Fran to Portland, OR.  When we got in at midnight, our brains thought it was 3am Maine time. It was a l o n g  d a y.....

Drove to WW today.  Work tomorrow.
