What a long day we had yesterday! Our car service picked us up at home at 5:15 a.m., and hour after we arose. By 6:15 we were through security at the new North Terminal at Detroit Metro Airport. Neither Pat or I had flown since we retired,a nd we were expecting an annoying time getting to our gate. I was particularly nervous about the metal detector now that I have a titanium hip to go with the stainless steel plate in my ankle. I just informed the TSA person, who sent me to the new body scanner (NOT traumatic, since you asked), which did not pick up the hip but thought there might be something in my left pocket. Our flights were uneventful, and we arrived at Kapalua Airport at two p.m. Hawaiian time (eight p.m. at home).
The Ford Fusion we had prepaid at Budget wasn"t available, so we ended up with a great deal on a Jeep Wrangler. Four wheel drive, removable top, lots of bells and whistles. And sits up high enough to see over fences and guard rails. So I could take photos like this:
