Hurry Up and Wait
... and that the train stopped running at 11 pm. We were able to switch our seats to the front of coach section and the flight crew was able to arrange for an electric cart to meet us on arrival. We raced through the empty concourse and made it to the departure gate 5 minutes before the doors were closed. However, it took about another hour to recover from our wild ride. However we made our flight and our trip to Peru would start on ...

I’ve been busy sorting through my photos from the last few days of this trip and then writing this blog entry. We have 2:15 until our scheduled arrival into IAH at 10:45.
