8.31.05 - At SeaTac Airport, Seattle.

We're finally here!! Sitting at the airport, sipping a white chocolate mocha, glancing around at the other passengers. One older couple are pouring over their Rick Steves guide book. A man and his 3 year old daughter are heading home to England after visiting Spokane and Portland. She has the most adorable British accent.

Larry has on his "Flippin' Sweet" Napoleon Dynamite t-shirt, and just came strolling back to our seats in the waiting lounge with a Seattle Times newspaper. The headline is regarding New Orleans and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

"Desperation Grows: We've Lost Our City"

Hard to imagine the tragedy of that, as we sit here waiting to go on the trip of a lifetime. My heart goes out to those poor people.

I'm surprisingly calm for being scared of flying. It hink reading up on the facts of air travel on scaredofflying.com has helped alot. Well, time to put this away, and get ready to head out over the clouds. England, here we come!!
