Well, in a few hours, I'll be in the air, headed to Detroit. It's a two-hour flight, and I'm losing an hour due to time zones. Then tonight, I lose another hour, due to daylight savings. Sheesh, I'm gonna be older when I get back, if this keeps up! We'll have the booth set up by 2, then we're done until tomorrow morning at 11. The guy I'm travelling with is nice enough, but I'm not sure I want to spend the whole afternoon with him. He got us a rental car, but I might beg out of any sight-seeing and stay in my room. Heck, I've got the laptop, right? LOL
Flying doesn't scare me, although my first flight was barely more than a year ago. I've flown 5 or 6 times since then, and am comfortable with it, but there's always that thought, deep down, that "things happen." I was tucking the girls in last night, and Natalie was crying, saying she didn't want me to go. This is normal for her, and I was prepared for it. Then Monica said, "You're not coming back, are you?" WHAT? I promised them that I'd be back Monday evening, then kissed them goodnight. It made me uneasy for her to say that. Weird.
I told them that we'd "chat" (instant message) this evening, and that made them feel a bit better. Heck, they'll be having fun at Grandma's house for the majority of the time I'm gone. It's just the leaving that gets them. They're always happy enough when I call them, but so sad when I'm leaving. That's why I avoid having them take me to the airport. It's too hard for them (especially Natalie) to watch me walking away. I'm just glad that I don't travel real often for work. 2 trade shows a year, that's it.
Well, I'll check in later from Michigan. Enjoy the sunshine if you've got it, 'cause I don't think I'll be seeing it until I get home!
