The iPhone alarm went wild at 6:03 am this morning. When I jumped out of bed, I noticed the shower was running, and sure enough, Miss Bright Eyes And Bushy Tailed was already getting ready to go!
While she was showering, I arranged her eight steamer trunks by the door, making her packing easier. The two trunks used for shoes were already packed to the top. The other six steamer trunks were partially full, and she laid the contents on top.
The cab company and moving vans will pick us up and her suitcases at 9:00 am.
The other alphabetically color-coordinated suitcases were ready to receive her clothes.
Color coding makes it easier to find them when the cargo plane lands in LA.
She is so lovely to me! She ironed my Ralphs Market paper sack and reinforced the paper handles with scotch tape so it would not fall open on the way to the plane.
We took some last-minute snapshots of the inn!
By the way, the book on the table was our donation for the decorations last year!
Goodbye, Inn, see you next year.
Talk about scary! This scary spook was UGLY!
A spook in the mirror!
Everything was decorated!
Once a year, all the cobwebs become decorations!
Now, after breakfast, we are ready to go!
The kids, God bless them, came to say goodbye and make sure we could carry our baggage to the car. The moving van arrived just before the kids, or they would have panicked and driven off into the sunset.
The drive was uneventful, a mere 45 minutes.
Colleen leaves this airport when she comes to visit.
We got our picture taken with a moose!
Hi Moose! We are Elks!
We made it to the plane with few issues, except that we tried to take our luggage ON THE PLANE! We wondered why the suitcases would not go through the X-ray machine. Yes, we should have checked them in! So, we went through the TSA line twice.
Here we go!
Up, up, and away!
Flying to Charlotte.
It’s time for a quick iced tea before boarding.
Quick stop in Charlotte before the next leg
The flights were excellent since we now travel first class; we are getting too old to sit like sardines for hours.
Robin picked us up, and we were home at 8:00 p.m. and in bed by 8:15 p.m. since it was 11:00 p.m. our time.
