A journey of a thousand miles starts with a delayed departure...

Ever-exciting, ever-unpredictable this globe trotting:

 

Travel partner and I show early at the airport (check)

Make sure the spouses get out in time to avoid the Fairfax County Parkway rush hour, score points for being considerate (check)

Bags weighed in well below limit, but contain enough for a comfortable trip (check)

Check in and be told the flight will be at least 1 hour, "I hope" says the guy at the travel desk...

 

No worries--time to verify I can email into the Journey2Bo blog.
