Arrived in New Orleans a little after 7:00 a.m. Got our bags tagged. Ran into a friend of ours who was putting her son onto a plane and chatted with her a bit. Then we went and got some beignets for breakfast. After that we did the security clearance and found our gate and waited. The flight to Atlanta was very quick, no problems. The airport was not as busy as I expected. We had lunch at a Mexican place there and then hung out until time to go. The big plane to Zurich was nice. I did actually enjoy it. Around 7:30 I looked out the window and could see we were passing over a big city, possibly St. John's around Nova Scotia??? It was very pretty. Troy slept pretty well but I couldn't. I was too excited to sleep.
