We took Uber to the airport for the first time. Our driver turned out to be a very enterprising man. He lives nearby and works by the airport. So to profit off his long commute, he drives a traveller to the airport every morning and an arrival home every evening. As a bonus, he even charges his electric car at work. These kind of go-getters are what makes capitalism and America such a great place to live.

Aimee and I decided to splurge a little this trip. We booked First Class flights. Instead of leg-crimping seats we had nice comfy chairs, and meals served on china with real cutlery. No plastic for us. Unfortunately I might find it difficult to get Aimee back in economy on our next excursion.

Our two flights east were uneventful and went by too quickly. Our path over Louisiana followed the Mississippi River from Baton Rouge until it finally petered out in the Gulf of Mexico. We spent the night in a hotel near the Miami Airport.
