I'm Leaving On a Jet Plane...

...I probably won't want to come back again! OK so I changed the words of that song a little. You don't mind do you?!?

It is official! I am sitting in the terminal waiting to board.  I am watching the crew examine the plane and I have one hour till take off.  I cannot believe that it is finally here!  Let's reflect shall we...

It was many months ago that I decided to book my flight to Germany.  I was very disappointed that my brother received his deployment orders for July forcing him to change his plans to come home for a visit this summer.  So, I became highly motivated to see him.  It has already been 18+ months since we have seen each other and adding another year was just plan wrong.  Therefore, the only way that I would be able to see him was to get my buttox onto a plane and go there.

Planning the trip is not as easy as it may seem.  I have a crazy schedule with work, kids, and especially school.  However, if you know anything about me you know that I am a highly motivated person and so these things were measly speed bumps in the road.  Fast forward a few months, $1000, and many research papers later...Voila' I am sitting in a terminal waiting to board.

To say that my lil' bro and I are beyond excited to be together in a number of hours now is an understatement.  I am beside myself and so is he.  In fact he is so stoked that I am coming he was going to be at the airport 24 hours ahead of schedule LOL!!  Time change can screw a brotha up ;-)    

I will tell you all about the trip when I come home...

Boarding has begun...LATER!!!
