We're down to the wire now. As John Denver sang (or did he write it? Or both?) "all my bags are packed, I'm ready to go..." Well, most of my bags are packed; my main suitcase is done (and comes in 10 lbs under weight, thank you very much) and most of my carry on is finished. So I'm in good shape. I think.
It's very interesting to be traveling standby, not that this is the first time I've done it. When Marilyn & I went to Venice a few years ago we did that on standby. It led to some interesting waiting at the airport gate. You don't get called for a seat until the last minute usually. So you sit and watch everyone else board and all you can do is wait. And wait. And wait. Returning from Venice in the Frankfort airport was a particularly interesting experience which I won't go into here but ask me about it sometime.
But at 3:30 a.m. on Tuesday (that's tomorrow) Super Shuttle will be outside our door. It almost makes it not worthwhile to go to bed. (But I will.) And then the adventure begins. Hopefully my next post will come to you from France. Wish us luck!

Departure Imminent

This has been the calmest packing day I can remember. Here we are, about 8 hours before departure, and I just found the last little thing that I've been hunting for (iPod nano). Usually, I'm doing that while the airport van is out front! As Gerry said, it's hardly going to make sense to go to bed tonight, but I have The History of Western Music to make me sleepy...
ReplyDeletethe above comment is from Allen, who is trying to navigate blogspot via twitter and longs for something just a tad more intuitive :.)
