Philadelphia, PA (USA)

Got up around 0530 and finished packing. Left the Navy Lodge (Willow Grove) at around 0615 and drove back to the airport - stopped for gas (Broomall, PA) on the way (0705). Traffic was OK, but the construction made everyone slow way down near the I-76 merge with I-476. After returning my rental car at the Enterprise office (0730), I navigated to shuttle system (it went better this time) and got through security with no problems.  This allowed me time to pick up some good souvenirs. Spent the next hour or so at the USO until a short time before my American Airlines flight was scheduled to board. Discovered I got one of those great seats with no place to put my carry-on under the seat in front of me - and I was in the waaaay back. Still, we took off on time (0910) and made it into the DFW area relatively quickly. It appeared we were holding over old NAS Dallas... Entertained myself all the way with crossword puzzles I saved through the trip. Landed on time (1155) but it took so long to get off the aircraft that my bag was waiting for me (unusual). Found my car in the DFW long term lot, exited at 1230 and made it home by around 1300.  Productive trip!
