Am I the only one in the world who thought it was totally reasonable to assume that, if the flight numbers of two different legs of a trip were the same, the plane making that trip was also the same?

Apparently I was the only one surprised when that turned out not to be the case.

Was assuming that, should an unexpected plane change be necessary, that the airlines would make the effort to have the receiving and loading gates next to each other instead of all the way across the %@#& airport as far as one can possibly go?

Apparently I was the only one surprised by that, also.

Here’s hoping that the return trip does not have similar surprises.

The good news is that I’m here, and I was almost on time. Also, long plane trips afford one a bunch of knitting time, so progress was made on the java leaf socks. I also have with me the Pacific Northwest shawl and more sock yarn (of course).

I have the list of Boston area LYS that you all provided, and I’m rarin’ to go!

I have no way to get pictures out of my camera and into this computer (borrowed). But I promise there will be pictures when I return! Keep the home fires burning.
