We're boarding a plane this morning.
The last time we flew was June 1 or 2. We've been spending a lot of time in the kitchen - actually, a lot of time tearing up our kitchen in preparation for new counter tops.
Now we're on our way to LAS via SFO.
We were flustered enough that we forgot to pack our little "liquid baggie." The only item of consequence we're missing is toothpaste and a lovely concierge in the SEA RCC dug up a free sample of Crest for us after we admitted our forgetfulness to her.
We're looking forward to our flights, two short hops, and we realize after 2 1/2 months away from airports that we've missed it.
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.
