taking off
the bags are all packed, passport in hand, doors locked, i am ready to go. we are leaving for sunny california tomorrow. i can hardly wait. the trip that has been in the planning for nearly a year now, is finally about to become reality. i am healing well enough to travel. i a have been moving around fairly comfortably for a few days now. the last 3 days have been the best, as i have actually been able to stand up straight. i am so looking forward to spending time with my family. this has been the longest stretch of time i have gone without a trip home, over 2 1/2 years. so needless to say, this is a much needed holiday. only one more sleep til we are on that plane, then it is a surreal 14 hour flight with little to no sleep, but i am hoping to get some along the way. bon voyage.
