Travel Day 1

China, here I come!! I have not really been keyed up about this trip like I was for my other ones this year but now I am getting excited since I have acutally started the travel portion of the trip. I think it will be very exciting and everyone I have talked to thinks so too.

Well, really, today was just a travel day to San Fransisco. My international flight to China leaves at 11:00am tomorrow. There is NO WAY to fly from Amarillo to San Fran by 11:00am on a Sunday so here I am in the business center of the Crowne Plaza hotel close to the airport. I am using the business center computer to avoid the $9.95 Internet fee. So far it has worked. I have been in here for an hour grading online papers and "stuff like that". I took a nap earlier and then watched the travel dude on PBS (Rick Steves, I think?). He was in Athens, Delphi and then on the Pelopponese in Greece. It brought back great memories. They would show something and I could say, hey, I have been there!! What a great feeling.

I think I am done grading and need some dinner and a good night's sleep. Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. I will try to post again when I get to China depending on the Internet availability, etc.

Travel On!
