I remember as a kid I always wanted to be an Astronaut like my Dad.

He wanted to be an Astronaut too.

Actually, they are running ahead of time - currently 300 metres from the ISS. I think it was originally scheduled for 3.29pm GMT. Soon to initiate the manual flight test.

An hour and 28 minutes away from docking. 

I think it's 13 mins to docking and an hour and a half to hatches open, but I'm not sure?

An hour away from docking due to running slightly ahead of time.

Once docking is complete at Node 2 port, there then follows the pressurisation and seal checks. There is a thermal hold to wait for temperatures to stabilise. You are correct, an hour and a half following the docking. Docking is about an hour away.

Chris Cassidy completing the ISS internal docking procedures. You could see the Soyuz capsule that carried him into orbit via Expedition 63 mated to another PMS on Node 2 of the ISS from the images beamed by Crew Dragon during approach.
