We left home in the van this morning at 4:20 to get to the airport. After getting through security, we had about 40 minutes to wait for our departure to DFW at 5:40. We left right on time and arrived at DFW. We had about a 2.5 hour layover. At DFW.<\/p>\n

It is now 3:00.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
