Flying

Well today started off early we ate breakfast at the breakfast buffet at the hotel. We headed to the airport and started the process of getting checked through to leave the country. It was easy to check out and the security check was similar to what we go through at the courthouse. Then it was off to the airplane and trying to not be turned into a pretzel. Going to Portugal the flight was less than 6 hours but  we were  going about 550 miles an hour with a tail wind and the rotation of the earth working in our favor. Coming home the average speed was only 435 with a head wind. 7 and a half hours later we are landing in New York and almost to touch down when the pilot poured on the gas and climbed due to a wind gust and we had to go around that slowed us down 20 minutes, and then we ordered to remain seated for a mandatory health inspection.
