leaving

Got up at 6 AM Pacific time and showered and had breakfast. This is our last day here. Took our last walk down Main St then when out on the pier, turned around at 9:15. Left the house by 9:50 and took the Pac Coast to Newport where we picked up 55 North and topped off the gas tank at 3.32 per gal. Arrived at the terminal at 10:30 and after security and check in we had a Big Mac from the McDonalds in the terminal. Our plane got off OK at 11:55 for a very smooth flight into Atlanta. We got to Atlanta 20 minutes early but there was no gate for us. Once inside we found our 8:04 flight was delayed until 8:50. At 9:30 we were number 3 for takeoff but had to taxi back due to an overheating engine and oil leak. They got us another 757 at gate A2 from our plane at gate A18. We eventually landed in Raleigh at 12:30. After getting the car, luggage and a trip to Krogers for cereal and milk we got in at 2:00 AM. It was a long but satisfying day. It was great to be back.
