Finally in Raleigh

After travelling for 15 hours yesterday, we finally made it to Raleigh. The trip so far:

-we got our bags! Nice teamwork Air Canada and United. That is twice in a row that Air Canada has impressed me (lost our luggage on way to Quebec City in February but they made up for it with a $200 cheque after writing them a nasty letter).

-Got to see Phoenix and Chicago by plane. Layovers in both cities. Chicago makes sense. Phoenix did not make sense: why travel west when you want to go east? Started off in mountain time zone, then to pacific, central and finally eastern. We covered them all yesterday.

-Tyler Hansbrough from the UNC Tar Heels was on our flight. He is tall!

-Was in the air for 8 hours. Left a bit of a larger carbon footprint than expected.

Just had a breakfast meeting and now Jeff and I are off to enjoy our day in Raleigh. Going to hit up the UNC disc golf course this morning in Chapel Hill. Might have to bring along a sweater as it’s a chilly day here 22 degrees and overcast
