Packed and set

I am here probably entering my last blog entry. I have checked out and now all I need to do is bet on the bus for the airport and it boards right across the street.

I hope grandpa is doing well. He will have Jordan tonight to keep him company before I arrive.

I slept well. I tried to get to sleep early around 9:30 but I just couldn't get to sleep. Once asleep however, I sleep soundly and I got up right at my alarm at 6:45. Breakfast was again good and I mad eit fast so to get here and writing before departing.

I was pondering last night what I may have done differently on this ill-prepared and quick week-long trip. Well, I would pack differentlly. I would bring more shorts nad white t-shirts to wear. I would also book my hotels in advance, but I really had no choice -- time was lacking. I wouild take more pictures (always) and use my phone cards more effectively. That is the key to travel-- communication in reservations, with loved ones, etc. One must communicate to keep one's sanity especially alone. You never know when you might be shut out of accomodations ...

I am ready to depart and hopefully I'll make it alright. I go from here to Amsterdam and then on to Detroit and finally CR. It will be nice to only have to drive about an hour to get home from the airport.

I wonder how long it will take to get through security?
