ARRIVAL- I had about 1 ½ hours till my flight departs for LAX. This would be my first time on a 753 so I was looking forward to this flight.
I enjoyed the underground tunnel from A to B concourse it was rather colorful. From the A Concourse I would need to go all the way to the other side of Terminal 1 to Concourse G. I opted for the long moving sidewalks so I could get some exercise and stretch my legs a little. When I reached my boarding area I managed to grab the usual lunch fare from the airport food court. MSP is a great airport btw and I have flown in and out of there on occasion since I was in Jr. High I made a memorable stop here on my way to basic training at Great Lakes back in 1992.
BOARDING-
The queue for boarding was long as we had a full house.

When we landed the aircraft taxied next to the entrance of Terminal 5 and stopped as we arrived 10 minutes early. A DL 772 was pushing back and we stopped for 5 mins. The Captain announced that the aircraft would be tugged to the gate.
ARRIVAL-
I had 3 hours to kill at the airport so I stopped for food and got on the Wi-Fi. I was almost home now and was looking forward to arrival as my wife and daughter took me out to a surprise belated birthday dinner in San Diego waiting for me.
