RDU airport

Good morning!  We’re up bright and early today on the way to Budapest!  

We used our Global Entry/TSA Precheck and Touchless entry for the first time.  Was really nice to just walk thru in minutes vs. The hundreds of people in the standard TSA screening line.  

At the American Airlines lounge now, first flight is to Philadelphia. We have a long layover there before boarding the 8+ hour flight to Budapest. Nice to have a quiet place to wait and yummy snacks. 



And I did want to mention that this is the anniversary of my dad's death over 30 years ago.  I know he would have enjoyed seeing my life and travels!
