From Gate B37, I was first off, having photographed door 2L being opened at 13:59:47. I thought that may have been important for my UK261 compensation claim.

The countdown continued to me getting home. This was my last flight of the first phase of my trip and the last flight before I was reunited with my beloved wife and bestie.

Having reached the Hampton Inn Dallas/Irving–Las Colinas not long before midnight, I didn’t turn the light off until around half past twelve. The bed was really comfy, but I just couldn’t switch off.
