Well let's see if my checked bags make it to DC. And then if I can get from Washington National to Baltimore in under five hours during rush hour. And then if my connection to Northern Greenland happens.

Amazingly, I've got a full set of Arctic gear in the little green bag (except for my snow boots which take up a quarter of the big orange bag).

I'm really liking the blue Cotopaxi bag. It's got a lot of clever compartments and the waist strap is long enough to fit my fat body.

sciencewrighter,

@douglasvb Wishing you made connections, warm feet, and success in whatever the hell you're going to Greenland in February to do. (You've been tight-lipped, so my guess is it's defense related.) Post a selfie of you in your full antifreeze kit.

@sciencewrighter I'm on the plane to DC and the airline app says my bags made it onto the plane with me 😅 just waiting to take off now in Phoenix.

I expect in a month or so there'll be a press release about what I'm doing.

@sciencewrighter proof of waiting on the tarmac to take off 😅

sciencewrighter,

@douglasvb I will have to have geolocation confirmation from Ben before this evidence can be admitted to the record.

@sciencewrighter @douglasvb LOL, I geolocate plane shots all the time, but only with permission.

@ai6yr @sciencewrighter go for it 😅 I'm on a commercial flight right now so nothing sensitive about it

@ai6yr @sciencewrighter I was on an American plane actually. And I landed at Reagan. But close!

@douglasvb @sciencewrighter Aha, that was the next in line! Delay between the photo being taken and post time.

@ai6yr @douglasvb @sciencewrighter Are we playing “Where in the World is Douglas Sandiego”? 🤔

@douglasvb @sciencewrighter I'm going to guess you were in 28 or 29F, but could be anything from 28-31, I think.

@douglasvb @sciencewrighter Then, on to BWI. Connection 5 hours later is likely PLAY OG120 to Reykjavik

@douglasvb @sciencewrighter Hmmm. ATI, 8C510 going to Pituffik, but that is a charter/transport 🤔... leaving at a godawful hour.

@douglasvb @ai6yr @sciencewrighter this is a fun game to watch unfold. Remind me to tell Ben the next time I travel so he can try and follow me!

@bud_t @douglasvb @sciencewrighter LOL Jason Bourne/24 cosplay (cue dramatic music) "CMON PEOPLE! We've GOT TO FIND HIM, NOW!!! The world depends on it!" 🤪
