  • All my bags are (mostly) packed and I'm (almost) ready to go...


    I'm flying out to Philadelphia late tonight, where I'll be spending a night over at a friend's/team member's place before we drive down to DC on Saturday morning for my Notre Dame AmeriCorps Mid-Year Conference, where I'll be meeting all the other suckers/good-hearteds of NDA from the other national sites.  I'm still trying to decide between my peacoat and my down jacket. 

    It's been about 20 years since I've been on that side of the country, so I'm excited.  Hopefully I'll have some time away from all the talks, ice breakers, workshops, and meetings to play the tourist.  I've been told to eat an aunthentic Philly Cheesesteak, visit Westminster, see the Smithsonian & Holocaust Museum, hang out by the Lincoln Memorial, and somehow get into the White House and meet the president.  The only request I'm sure I'll be able to fulfill is "take lots of pictures"; that's why I'm bringing extra AA's for my digicam.

    I vaguely remember how the airport and flying works.  The last time I flew was to Vegas a couple years ago with my family and     Louie, but that was only an hour or something.  This flight goes over 2 thousand miles and will take 5 1/2 hours.  Whoopee!  At least I get a window seat, but I guess that doesn't matter much when you're flying at night... or does it?  Oh yeah, I must remember to take airborne before we leave.
