After waiting in line at Patrick Henry Airport (Newport News-Williamsburg Airport for the non-natives) I caught my flight to Boston with about 15 minutes to spare; just enough time to buy a cup of coffee to get me going. With a 2 1/2 hour layover at Logan International before catching the bus to Woods Hole, I decided to visit the 9-11 Memorial. It is an eerily beautiful structure of glass and shadows. The reality and tragedy of the event was emphasized by the fact that I had arrived at the same time of morning as the second plane had taken off from Logan and was standing at the Memorial at the same time as when the jets struck the Towers.
At 10:30 a.m., I caught the Peter Pan bus to Woods Hole. I can't recommend them enough. What more can you ask for than Wi-Fi on a bus! Nothing like posting from the road, literally.
Be sure to check back for some background information on U-576 and the battle that ensued on July 15, 1942.
