Traveling to the US! (9/8)

Spring is definitely in the air in Chile. We leave right as the trees are blooming their beautiful best. I'm sure they will be past their prime when we return. And I understand that fall is setting in and we are in for cooler weather in the States. Oh well.

So, We're going to the States for a visit. But, somehow, it seems to be much more. It's like a test run for the return. I'm not sure how I feel about it either. I have noticed that neither Deb nor I seems stressed about the trip. That's strange. Usually one of us is stressing. We went with plenty of time, so when Deb was pulled aside twice for inspection (Ha, ha!), we didn't even flinch. Even when we missed a connection in Dallas we remained fairly calm. (We just ended up waiting an extra two hours for the next flight.) And it was a real relief to see Bob and Sylvia when we arrived in Columbus. We were just about late for the reheasal dinner though.
