On the road at last

Well, tomorrow is the day. I'm having dinner tonite with a very attractive friend, and then tomorrow Doug and Tammy will drop me off at the airport. My flight leaves LAX at 17:50 and I arrive in London at noon. Change planes, leave Heathrow at 14:55 and arrive in Wein (Vienna, actually, I'm already becoming a travel snob, and I haven't even left) at 18:10. How many actual hours that is, I don't have the slightest. I think they are 9 hours ahead of CA, but who's counting. So the next time you hear from me, it will be from one or another of my old familiar haunts in Wein. After all, I was there once before.

Lets hope my backpack passes BA's strict limits. It's right on the borderline of being too big. I'd really hate to check it, with my cameras, etc. in it. I guess I'll find out tomorrow. Considering the long flight, and that the only parts over land will be at nite, I chose an aisle seat for the first leg. I do have a window from UK to Wein. And I hope I'm spelling that correctly Wein and Wien are both valid German words, I've found. One is Vienna and one is wine. Time will tell.

That's all for now.

Love,

Dad/Grandpa/Dick
