So far, the trip went well. Left home this morning at 7:15 AM to go to the trainstation. My train to Schiphol had a delay of about 15 minutes, but that was ok, I had plenty of time to check in anyway.

Checked in, went through customs, did the whole security thing …

By 12:35 pm, we were away from the gate .. 13:00 we actually took off.
8 hours later, we landed in Philadelphia, 15:00 local time. It only took me 2 hours to get here !!

Going through the security checkpoint took the most time, but even that was a matter of about 5-10 minutes (getting all electronic devices from my bag, packing them all back in …)

Waiting for my connecting flight to Burlington now, which leaves at 8:55 PM. Only a bit over 3 hours left to wait. Good thing there’s wireless available here. I wouldn’t know what to do with so many hours of free time …

UPDATE 6:43 PM: Guess I spoke to soon. The connecting flight to Burlington has been delayed and is now scheduled for 10:13 PM. The streak of good luck was going to end sooner or later, I guess.
