We’re Outa Here!

6/18/2010, Friday

After an incredible amount of work to cut the ties to “normal” daily living (and especially work obligations), we are in the air! (I’m writing this paragraph here from the plane between Spokane and Minneapolis). We got up 3 am this morning, got on the road (late) about 4:30 am, picked up Patricia Yacker (late) about 5:10 am, and got to the Spokane airport for a 7:10 am flight (on time!). Patricia and Marty will save us parking fees for 3 weeks, and they’ll pick us up at the airport when we return on 7/10.

Heading to Minneapolis, then JFK airport (in New York, where I haven’t been since 1966), and then our long flight to Pisa, Italy!

This second paragraph being written from the JFK airport. Three hours difference in time zones from when we got up this morning, and my body is already a little confused. We will get on the plane here at JFK airport @ 8:45 pm Eastern time (3 hours time difference from Idaho this morning), and we will fly to Pisa, Italy, arriving there tomorrow, Saturday 6/19/2010 @ 11:40 am (I think that’s about 8 or 9 hours difference from Pacific/Idaho time).

Bonjour!

Todd
