Boston to Louisville (Sunday, OCT 06)

Today, it was on to Louisville, via Detroit.  

As we flew west from Boston, AMERICA was, according to my Marine Traffic app, steaming east up the Ohio River.

AMERICA circled in lower left

Aboard our Boston-to-Detroit flight, during taxiing and takeoff, I played with my Samsung Note 10+ hyperlapse video capability. (click here). As we climbed to 34,000', I got some Bocelli going on my iPod through my Bose QC35 headphones and dove into a book (Old Man River) on my Kindle Paperwhite. I love it when geekism intersects functionality; well, the hyperlapse video might be just geekism.

We arrived on time at Gate 75. Of course, our connecting flight left from Gate 2. Thankfully we had ample time to transit the entire length of the main terminal.

Onward to Louisville on a significantly smaller jet.  Flight time 52 minutes at 22,000'.

Upon landing, astute observation determined it was raining. 

Happiness is a cab driver who knew a major accident had occurred on the expressway into the city and brought us in on secondary roads from which we could occasionally glimpse the resulting backup.

We checked into the Hyatt Regency Louisville.  It was not one of Hyatt's newer properties, although it has had (at least one) face lift.  

In the interest of staying dry, we had dinner in the hotel's restaurant Sway. Only the bar area was open.  The ambiance left a bit to be desired.  The food was good, beginning with the crayfish hushpuppy appetizer. 

After dinner, we stepped outside.  Yup, still raining.
