We're Off!

We had Randy, our new son-in-law, take us to the San Francisco Airport this morning. We said we'd call him at 4:45 to be sure he was awake....to be at our house to leave at 5. He called US at 4:45 and woke both of us from a sound sleep! I don't think I've ever moved that fast, and certainly not at 5 a.m.!!! Randy arrived and gave us an uneventful ride to the airport, after a Starbucks stop. They won't have Pumpkin Spice Latte's when we get home!

We flew on Delta to Atlanta, w/just under 2 hrs wait for our next flight. We actually arrived a bit early since we had tail winds up to 150 mph...major! The flight into Ft Lauderdale was fine. A HAL rep was waiting for us when we decended the escelator to the baggage claim area. He took care of all our luggage (4 more large pieces...after all we already shipped!), and escorted us to a HUGE limo for our ride to a Marriott Hotel for the night. Mel snapped the pic inside the limo. We had neon lights and everything! The purple bag in the foreground has my small sewing machine in it.

Tomorrow's the big day that we board the ship. I'm going to bed. 4:45 is WAY too early to get up, especially after refereeing cat fights 1/2 the night. Kali is going to be so happy locked in our bedroom for 4 months. She won't have to constantly look over her shoulder.
