I traveled up the parkway to the Baltimore Airport, BWI. I had a 6am flight, so I arrived at the airport at about 4:00am. Since the security lanes didn't even open until 4:30am, I got to hang out in the terminal for a bit. I managed to leave and arrive on to Chicago ontime, but of course was late leaving Chicago and late finally getting back to Cedar Rapids. All in all, 5 of the 6 segments were delayed on my journey from Cedar Rapids to Birmingham via Dallas and Birmingham to DC via Dallas and Baltimore to Cedar Rapids via Chicago. I'm very disappointed in American Airlines, going forward it looks like I'm mainly need to fly United or perhaps Delta depending on cost. Thankfully, though, winter is over and much of my travel will now simply be hopping in the Jeep and heading out west.

I arrived to a more healthy and happy Beagle, who had been boarded at Julia's Kennels near West Branch. I got a quick swim in, and then SLEPT for hours and called it a day.
