My grandmother is in hospice care. So we're headed to Texas. We'll see if we get there in time.
British Airways is *not* making the whole thing any easier. Neither are U.S. covid-test requirements.
We'll see if we make our connection in Phoenix to Houston. This was not our original booking to Houston, after going through not our original booking out of Inverness. We started going at 6am British time this morning, sorta launched from the hotel, and we just haven't gotten a chance to stop all day with all the airport chaos and stuff going wrong. Though I guess I'm in hour six of a ten-hour flight right now, so it's more of a "forward-planning for what we already know is wrong" kind of restful.
Krissy has been awesome, as always. She's really good at travel, even when the travel is really not cooperating. The kids have been troopers, especially about just how many hours of go-go-go we're requiring from them.
It's a little bit exhilarating, in a "let's not do this again any time soon" sort of way. Krissy's already looking forward to getting home so we can not do this for another 2.5-3 years. I'll be travelling a bit more (London in April, Helsinki in October) for conferences. But it's hard to be all that enthused about it, right now or in general. Being somewhere is cool. Travel has never been an activity I enjoyed for its own sake.
I am, however, posting this from an airplane. So that feels a little bit magical.
