Good Evening!
Greetings from Charlotte!
The flight in was very uneventful, however, it did take a while for us to get off the ground. They had closed the air space off due to the Blue Angels fly-over of Shea Stadium for the Mets' game tonight. So... When the captain came on the loudspeaker to tell us we were number 30 in line to take off,
and all flights would still be grounded for a couple more minutes... Well.. Surprisingly, there weren't too many grumbles from the passengers, and the captain also had a great sense of humor about it all too, so that helped ease everyone's unease. In any case, I think we only ended up taking off 20 minutes later than scheduled. However, due to air and air-traffic conditions, the captain was not able to make up some of the lost flight time en route to Charlotte. However (again), since the captain and most of the flight crew was due to transfer to other outgoing flights from Charlotte, no one missed their connecting flights.
And I have a nice hotel room (again), with a nice view of downtown Charlotte.
And I'm eating a piece of Red Velvet Cake right now too. So...
Life is good.

-And now time to catch up...
