After a good flight on a 757 SEA-ORD we're settled into one of the several RCCs for a few minutes before boarding.
Snow is predicted as early as 1:00 p.m. with a blizzard warning for Tuesday through Wednesday and UA is issuing Travel Waivers. We appear to have have been lucky, but one never knows. We have an even closer connection at IAD before hopping across the Atlantic to Rome.
This is one of those connections that starts with an early breakfast this morning (omelette for Brian and cereal for Kathy) and ends with an early breakfast tomorrow morning European time. It's good that experts claim breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Kathy and Brian
Two retired educators alternating joyfully between seeing the world and enjoying our eight grandchildren (in order of birth), Jake, Avery, Taegan, Lily, Peyton, Riley, Blane, and Jace.
Kathy and Brian met in the clarinet section of the University of California (Santa Barbara) Symphony Orchestra several decades ago.
Brian's Western Canadian roots and Kathy's Colorado ties resulted in their making beautiful music together along with producing a cross-border crop of descendants.
Kathy spent a year studying in Vienna at the Institute for European Studies and the University of Vienna.
Brian started the school band program in Hope, British Columbia, and later became the high school's vice-principal for 6 years and subsequently principal for 15 years before retiring in 2001.
Kathy, in between raising our three children, taught kindergarten and first grade, middle school, and high school - mathematics, computer studies, ESL, and her first love, band, before retiring in 2001.
We enjoy sharing our travel experiences and providing the odd travel tip to friends, relatives, and visitors.
