Passport Renewed

I just received my renewed passport and putting the old one away reminds me of all the great destinations recorded there. 130+ stamps and many Visas make for great memories.
I'll be curious to see how the TSA agent reacts to this new one.

Home is where the heart is

I think that is how the saying goes. At any rate, it's also a good place to do laundry, download the pictures, open the mail, check to see that all bills are paid and re-stock the refrigerator.

All in preparation for the next trip...

Approaching home

After 14 hours of travel we decide to spend the night at the Peppermill in Reno, rest up and make the final forty miles in the morning. By coincidence there is a fire conference here at the hotel and I was able to slip through the gate keeper in the exhibits area and look for friends. I'm reminded of my age when out of three hundred+ folks attending, I can't find one. Life goes on,

Homeward Bound

So we made the 5:15 and now sitting out a three hour layover in the Delta lounge at JFK and reminded how much we dislike this part of travel. It's bad enough sitting in an airplane but at least it is moving in the desired direction.
