And, we're off!

So this morning started out with the arrival of a limo to take us to the airport:



A very cool way to start out this trip, and Aria was very excited about the fiber optic strip lights and other shiny gewgaws inside the limo. She was decidedly less enthusiastic about being shuffled through airport security and being told, "Go. Stop. Take your shoes off. Put your shoes on. Do the Hokey Pokey."Still, even the TSA people were decidely less grumpy with her around than they were the last time Carla and I came stumbling back from Vegas.

Our flight boards in about 10 minutes. Aria has been watching planes take off and land for about an hour now, so I think she's ready to go find out what this flying thing is all about.

So we're off to Charlotte, then Orlando.

That reminds me of a funny story that Carla probably doesn't want me to tell. Years ago, when Carla and I first got married, we had a connecting flight in Charlotte on the way to Ft. Lauderdale. We were sitting in the Columbus airport, when Carla pulled out the tickets, then looked at me a bit puzzled and said, "Why is my mom's name on these tickets?!" (ETA: Carla's Mom's name is Charlotte.)

Good times :-)

Ok, time to go... more updates and nonsense later!

Arias and Limos go together like princesses and carriages.
