Ned and I made it to Logan Airport 2 minutes before the plane boarded at 6:15AM. 

I found the de-icing process interesting – how do they know when the plane is sufficiently de-iced?  And what kind of weird chemical do they use?

In order to get anywhere in Dallas, you use the highway.  But the highway is a toll road.  Imagine paying a toll to go to the supermarket.  It's unthinkable!

Grasping to prove our worth to the company while goofing off at PyCon, we fixed some bugs on the plane ride to Dallas and phoned home to boast about it during the $60 cab ride to the hotel.

(wow, lot's of prepositional phrases there...)

Every time we saw a river, I claimed that it must be the Mississippi River.  In this photo, I'm almost certain I was right.

The "luggage throwers" seem to use a surprisingly low-tech system for moving luggage between planes:  a printed sheet of paper taped to the cart tells them which bin to put each bag (as far as I could tell).

If you ask me, robots could surely do the job more efficiently.  I bet R2-D2 would have no problem with the task, even without having arms!
