We got ready to finally take our birding vacation to San Diego. There are supposed to be more than five hundred species of birds in San Diego. After eating pumpkin pancakes for breakfast, we went to the clunky airport in Memphis for our 11:55am United flight to Houston. We there learned that our flight was going to be late, so we had lunch in the Memphis airport. Finally we were on our way.
Because the plane to Memphis was late, we would miss our connecting flight to San Diego in the Houston airport. We were rescheduled for the 6:40pm flight by the staff in Houston. At that point, things went from bad to worse. The 6:40pm flight was changed to 7:40pm and then changed to “around” 8:40pm. We ate Korean BBQ Ribs and Kale in the Houston airport.
Passing through Terminal B in the Houston Airport, we saw a small bird flitting around the rafters inside the airport. It was a lonely, juvenile English Sparrow (Passer Domesticus), searching for the food court.
As we pulled up to the Doubletree, we came to realize that we were more than six hours late. We just got off the Rental Car bus, having listened to a positively rude Californian lady crabbily criticize the citizens of Alabama for their waving at her in the morning. There is no pleasing some people.
