Day 1-ish?

We were able to leave AHS at around ten leaving only one bag behind so at that point I'm thinking, "we're off to a pretty good start". After a brief (lack of) paperwork issue, we left LA for Dallas. "Mechanical issues" gave us an opportunity to stay in Dallas overnight where it was still 100 degrees at 10pm. Highlights so far include: staying at the luxurious Gaylord Texan (highly recommended if you're ever in Dallas), counting the number of people hit by errant soccer balls while waiting in the terminal, and welcoming back some troops fresh from Iraq and Afghanistan. Still waiting on departure from Dallas, but everyone seems to be going with the flow. I think our boys have some Chilean in them.

As we are less than one week away, I wanted to send out a reminder of why we are going.
