Hurry up and wait

We are off! Flying the friendly skies to Paris!



Well, no. First we go through security - make sure my stuff in my backpack is ok and that "my stuff" is well x-rayed. [A note from Vicki: This is Dan's posting. My stuff was x-rayed as well, but I'm not a big whiner like someone else...] The backpack is loaded to the zippers' breaking points with my camera, lenses, flash, magazines, iPad, book, meds, my Speedo for the European beaches [oh hell no, says vicki], gum, mints, and euros left over from last year.

Then we sit for over an hour, finish half of everything we brought to read, and people watch. We are indeed a melting pot. In the words of philosopher Jimmy Buffet, the Cosmic Baker took some of us out of the oven a little too soon.

As for friendly skies, I think those must be somewhere else. Delta moved our confirmed seats without telling us and no one knows how that was allowed to happen.

But we are finally here and ready to go - and will be there at 8am Tuesday morning!
