Here I am in Philly, in a Holiday Inn, sipping on some decaf coffee and passing the time while waiting for my son-in-law, Allen, to get off work. Six-thirty morning chapel seems more like a day or so ago. The several hour drive here with Cindy went quickly. Time flies when you're visiting -- and we all know how 'difficult' it is for Cindy and I to find anything to talk about. Ha! I hope her return trip is just as smooth and efficient.
Traveling is going to be a little different this time. I usually fly but, this time, Allen and I will be riding Amtrak into NC, boarding early in the morning. One difference I have noticed is that packing for train travel is a lot less stressful than for flying. I'm always afraid I'll forget to remove all my sharp gadgets from my purse or that I won't get my shoes back on fast enough to suit the person in line behind me. Once, I forgot to take my computer out of my bag so my whole bag was rejected and everything had to go through security a second time. Then there was the time, while leaving a plane, I absent-mindedly walked toward the cockpit instead of the exit door. Actually, I'd rather not talk about that except to say, "Let me tell you. . .those people don't fool around!"
I think tomorrow will be fun. I'm looking forward to it.
