Where Terminal 5 used to be
Friday, May 8, 2026
As I sat in Terminal 6, I realized that Terminal 5 was gone. I knew Delta had moved out of that terminal and that they were planning to update it. What I did not realize was that they were demolishing it and rebuilding it.
We flew to Denver, had lunch, and then continued on to Raleigh. There were no direct flights to Raleigh on an airline where I had status. It was after 1:00 AM by the time we drove to Greensboro, North Carolina. I think I have finally accepted that when flying to the East Coast, the time change means you either fly out at the crack of dawn or arrive late.
Even on a good day, flying can test the patience of any traveler. The flights are overcrowded, space is limited, and there are always a few entitled passengers trying to rearrange the overhead bins or seating to suit themselves. Airports are busy, often under construction, and it is very hard to find a quiet space. Unfortunately, Sophon was not feeling well and had been dealing with a nagging problem since our trip to Northern California.
After landing, we made our way to the Sheraton Greensboro at Four Seasons. The hotel itself seemed pretty nice, but when we checked in, I realized it was graduation weekend. The place was packed, and they put us on the 23rd floor. I usually prefer higher floors, but I quickly realized one of the elevators was out of service — not good on a busy weekend.
Well, we have arrived! It will be nice to visit with our friends, and I also planned a trip to Asheville to check out the area, along with the Biltmore Estate.
