Time To Go

I'm about 30 minutes away from leaving work and heading to the airport for the first leg of my trip.  Which is good as vacation brain has fully set in and I'm pretty much worthless now.  My bags are packed and in the car.  I've verified (several times) that I have my passport.  I still have a sinus infection although it seems to be getting better.  It is mostly in my nose today, less in my ears and throat.  Fingers crossed that chewing gum and sucking on lozenges gets me to Texas OK. 

Mom and Dad will meet me at the airport then it is off to their place for the evening and a simple meal tonight for my Birthday Dinner.  We may actually go out tomorrow for a Birthday brunch - I haven't decided yet.  Then Gary comes to pick Dad and I up at 3:00 pm to take us back to the airport and our flight to Madrid.  Sometime Saturday morning we'll arrive in Madrid, go through immigration, and have a short layover until our flight to Venice where we'll meet up with C- and T- for a week of good Italian fun. 

Happy Birthday To Me!
