Thursday Waiting, waiting

I am determined not to get edgy today and I will wait patiently . I am currently in Washington Dulles airport with far too much time to spend.

Yesterday it was hard to work out when to leave my apartment. From my observation the timetables for the buses on their official website are more suggestive than definitive. At least the frequency was probably accurate. How do you allow for the possibility that He might want to go somewhere again? Somewhere recently I read that they suggest 3 hours ahead and I have read of people, in the last 6 months , arriving 2 hours before and missing their flight. So I erred on the cautious side. I left my apartment at 6, got to the bus stop at 6.10, got onto a bus at 6.11, got off the bus at 6.35, got onto the next bus at 6.35 ( the first bus tooted at the 2nd bus so that he waited for me) , got to the airport at 7.40, put my bag in ( about 2 minute wait in line) , talked nicely to the lady and got an exit row seat which I had not paid for , went through security ( about 3 minutes wait in line) , caught the train to the correct group of departure gates, found my departure gate and it was 8:10. How good was that? If I just missed buses I might have got here 40 minutes later and then it might have taken me significantly longer. Unfortunately we are not due to board till 11.20.

Later :

I am now sitting in a very pleasant place in LA airport. Because my previous flight was changed about 2 months became I left to a 3 hour earlier time, I arrived in the LA international terminal at 2.30 LA time and my next flight boards at 10.10pm. I wandered through the seating areas, all the charging poles were taken, It was noisy, but I’ve heard worse. If I can pay for a night’s accommodation in Sydney before my flight over, I can pay to sit in a very peaceful place, with a very comfy chair, my laptop and Tabatha both plugged in and recharging next to me, included snacks. There are not many people here.
