And I'm Off!



After yesterday's debacle of missing my flight due to my last-minute missing passport, I feel odd sitting here at the San Diego airport after today's completely calm and uneventful morning. After waking up on time, having everything packed the night before, having time to shower, and not forgetting anything... something feels very unfamiliar. I am not even slightly frantic (this is new) - hopefully this is a a telling foreshadow for the five months ahead. Of course, a little craziness will be welcomed at times, but I certainly hope that losing my passport and missing my flight will be the greatest tribulation of my travel adventures.

I must make a quick note that as I went through security, it occured to me that I would make a great advertisement for the Kindle electronic reader. I could act as the "before" model for the infomercial. The attached photo says it all.


By the way, San Diego airport has free wireless internet - ahhh, the days of travel have certainly changed....
