Gate Closing .. Gate Closed .. Departed

I slept so early and almost immediately after I had my late dinner at 9pm yesterday night (thanks to swimming after 3 straight tiring days as emcee) and missed AD's call to paint the town red. Sigh! Nevertheless with that early sleep meant that I woke up early, just in time to send HY off to Washington D.C. Wow!

Gate closing...

Finally gate closed..

And believe it or not it took another 30 minutes or so before the plane took off. I think poor HY's fuming on the plane as she was in the queue for an hour while checking in. Have fun!
