It's 5:00 am. No one should be up this early. It's amazing how the airport is waking up. The skycap was cheerful but a little sleepy; lights were just coming on in various rooms off of the main walkway; as I type, the coffee bar behind me is just beginning to smell like fresh roast.
I'm sort of fearful about this flight. I try to limit walking whenever possible, so the idea of walking across two airports (let alone the work that we are about to do over the next 3 days) is discomforting. However, once I got to the airport, the Southwest staff put my mind completely at ease. I was almost immediately put into a wheelchair, and a very nice young man (young.. my age.. if I am young) wheeled me through the entire airport, including security. He even helped me get my shoes off to go through the detector. He was friendly without being overly talkative. He wheeled me straight to the gate door. I can only pray that the service is comparable at Midway.

I really enjoyed flying Southwest -- for a first trip, it was very reassuring. Glad you had a good experience -- good luck this week :)
Happy Birthday Em!
