Final Thoughts on Double Weekend

After flight cancellations and delays, I finally made it home last night.

A few final thoughts from the weekend:

-Running back-to-back marathons is hard.

-Fall in southeast Nebraska is beautiful.  The colors in Lincoln and Omaha now are more spectacular than anything I saw in Connecticut or Rhode Island.

-Airline consolidation has been bad for consumers.  Too few flights, oversold, overworked crews.  I could go on and on.  Fly Southwest whenever you can.

-DON'T get tricked into buying extra insurance at the car rental place, but DO be careful when you are parking your rental car.

-Contrary to the stereotype, people on the east coast are generally very nice.  Direct, but nice.

-Professional sports on the east coast (Red Sox, Yankess, Patriots, Giants) are a HUGE deal.  These fans make even the most passionate Nebraska fan seem downright casual.

-You can do most anything you set your mind to.

-Being away from your family sucks.

-Seeing their smiling faces at the airport is great.
