On extended ground delay here at IAH in UA101 for both extra baggage & more cleaning ( Per various sources) though doors are closed & they took drinks away for takeoff. I’ll get home someday...

Friday dawns and no sleeps left for me. I’m going to drop my bags at Hilton and then come to the restaurant for post dinner drinks. I’ll have been fed in the Virgin Lounge and onboard, plus will hit the Hilton EL for a top up.

Vague plan to walk around the Botanic Garden area, eventually meeting up with GrjApp at The Calyx ~10:45-11ish. Toting a dark green backpack with a yellow FT tag.

Checked in at Hilton, cleaning up work inbox. No firm plans, might hit up new microbrewery/bistro called Frenchies near Green Square for lunch and/or beers.
