Check. Check. Check....

Well, she did it. Christine pulled her true, first 'all-nighter'. She is very proud of herself. I, on the other hand went to bed at 11:30, and couldn't go to sleep because I kept hearing her up, and I think the last time I looked at the clock it was 1:20am. The next thing I remember, is her bouncing into my still very dark bedroom at 4:40am telling me it was time to get up. I asked myself WHY, why did I book that early moring flight? I know better than to do that. I'm not a morning person! But I dragged my sorry, sleepy self up and out of bed. Thankfully, I had laid out my clothes last night and I didn't have too much to think about to get ready.

Mike picked us up and drove us to the airport. No traffic at all. Why would there be? It was, after all, 5:15am. Duh. I did notice how beautiful the sunrise was. Wow. And to think I miss that everyday. Maybe I should re-think my sleeping habits! Then I could see the sunrise and the sunset each day..... I don't remember much of the flight. Christine and I both fell asleep right up to the landing. Duff met us and he sure was a wonderful sight. He even shaved--just for me! I'm not much of a scruff person.
