I am sitting in the Austin airport now, hoping I get to Dallas in time to catch my connecting flight. Lots of thunderstorms around Dallas they are saying. My flight is estimated to take off 45 minutes late, which would give me (and my luggage) about 30 minutes to make the connection. And the Dallas airport is HUGE! I went for a nice sprint through that airport a few weeks ago that I would prefer not to repeat.

I just spoke with an American Airlines agent, and the only flights to Cordoba are overnight. Ryan is on the road to Dallas now for an ultimate frisbee tournament this weekend. He might be picking me up in Dallas later if I don’t make the connection. Ah, the irony. At least I will have a hotel room to crash in, and the guys in the car said they have an extra shirt if I want to play tomorrow.

Besides the travel issues, my last day at home was great. Ryan was able to take some time off and we had a relaxing day with a nice hike in the Texas Hill Country. The great thing about the 99+ degree weather is that no one else is crazy enough to go outside, so we had the trail all to ourselves. Here’s a picture of us drenched from sweat on the hike.

Update on the luggage situation: I got my bag down to the weight limit, and the airline agent didn’t even look at the scale when checking me in.
