On to Tampa...

10:28 AM -- We've just boarded a 757 and will be taxiing for take off in a little over 10 minutes. Rich had a "Sunrise Sandwich" at Wolfgang Puck's Express, and Valerie is dining on some cinnamon pretzels from "Auntie Annie's Pretzel Perfect". This flight was a little late getting boarded and the crew is now trying to rush everybody through the plane so they can hit the runway.

The photo was taken looking out from our gate toward the main terminal in Denver.

11:10 AM -- Still on the ground. One of the food service carts couldn't get unlocked from its docking station, so maintenance brought out a replacement. In the mean time the crew got the cart fixed, but procedures required that the cart be swapped out with the replacement anyway. Wow, but I'm starting to really love United!

11:57 AM -- Must have dozed off right after take off as I notice the guy next to me has a drink. Wonder if I'm out of luck or if I'll get a second chance at liquid?

2:20 PM -- advance the time ahead 2 hours as we're now on Eastern time AND we've just landed in Tampa and are taxiing toward the terminal.
