OK, we are leaving in 15 minutes or so. The bags are all packed. Passports are accounted for. The bags are jam-packed. Snacks and books are good to go. The bags are straining at the hinges, but closed. Laptop has been configured so we can call home using it (thanks for the tip Jaspers!). Todd even managed to get the kitchen sink into one of the bags somehow :) Did I mention the bags are PACKED? We are booked onto an afternoon flight into Detroit, but we aren't real happy with the layover time. The airlines couldn't change our flight because we had booked the last 2 tickets on the follow-on flight to Tokyo. The lady was afraid that if she wiped out our reservation and started again that we would lose the seats for the second leg. So, we are heading to the airport early in an effort to change to an earlier flight at the desk. There is an up side and a down side. Up side - if we get changed, I will be much more at ease. Down side - if we DON'T get the tickets changed and we have to sit there for several hours, I will be fretting about all the house cleaning I could have been doing instead of sitting in an airport . . . on second thought, how can NOT cleaning a house be a down side???? :)
Next entry should be from Beijing!
