Sat
Flight BOI to ORD via DEN(Denver)
Got off my flight in Denver 13 minutes before my flight to ORD was schedule to depart.  I was at the very end of the A concourse, ran to the Train (at center of A), train to the B concourse , luckily the gate for ORD was only a few gates from the center train.  I ran to the gate got there 2 minutes after the scheduled departure and they let me on, wow I was fully expecting to just talk to them about the next flight.
As a standby person I made the first flights I was shooting for so fantastic.
Susie (my girl friend) who has tickets to fly.  Was delayed out of Boise by 3.5 hours which then delayed her out of  Denver.  So she got to Chicago after Midnight.  I was in by noon and I took the Train to Rosemont (suburb of Chicago) went for lunch  to Crust brewing my go to place.  Came back to the Hilton ORD and took a nap.  Met Susie after midnight in the airport.  I fully expected that the person flying standby would be the late one not the one with tickets.

Sun
Up early for a 8:45 flight, so not too early.
Susie has tickets and there is a seat for me on the same flight so fantastic!  We are not sitting together, but not a big deal as Susie is really good at sleeping on a plane, so we can all be jealous of her having that ability ☺
