Travel Day
2:45 am up and at em !
3:30 am, our driver picked us up. We were at the airport at 4:10 am. We quickly checked in and got to the gate. Early boarding, settled in row 2. A bloody Mary certainly hit the spot.
On-time take off and arrived in SLC on time. Long long walk from arrival gate to departure gate. Thank heavens we had a wheelchair pusher for Russ. About 1-1/2 hour wait. On time departure and a pre-flight cocktail. Lunch was served along with another libation. Lunch was excellent. We had selected a charcuterie and really enjoyed it. Everything top quality. Some sourdough crackers went with the meat and cheeses and a little pot of fig jam. What a great way to start.
On-time into Minneapolis/Saint Paul. Wheelchair pusher was there and off we went. Glad we had a guide as we took a tram and he knew which stop to get off at. We were quickly settled in at the gate and waited about 1-1/2 hours, for the final leg. After boarding, I looked out the window and watched as some of our bags were loaded onto the plane.
Duluth is a small airport, easy to find everything. Chatted with Viking Reps in the luggage claim area, used the Uber app to order a ride, our luggage was some of the first off, yea! Many people on that flight had Red Viking Luggage Tags. So we met several people we’ll be sailing with.
Uber was on time, about 20 minutes later we were stopping by a liquor store to pick up an evening libation. 5 minutes later we were being dropped off, only to discover we had been dropped off at the wrong address. The correct place was just next door, but still a challenge to get there with all our luggage.
We were so
tired, we opted not to go back out to try to find food. Decent room, harbor
view (as much as there could be). Fairly early night as it had been a long day,
even with a 2-hour time change.
