Flying Home Tonight

by Jane

I've packed my bags and given them the 'weigh' with Dad's little hand-held bag weighing machine.  Think they're within limits though I've had to use my nice new Tom Bihn Tristar bag (bought on-line, had it delivered to Pete's place in Laguna Niguel) as my cabin bag otherwise my main bag is not only slightly overweight but it couldn't be zipped up.

My new bag is also carrying a heavy book I bought, my 'admin' folder which includes all my Ragdoll photocopying, and a few clothes.  The former two are reducing weight in the main bag, the latter reducing bulk.

Anyway, I think I have it all right now.

Not feeling at all stressed about this plane flight - not like I was on the way up - so can only guess that (a) I'm past caring and just want to get home, or (b) my flying phobia was cured on the outward trip.

I'm leaning toward (a).

In half an hour's time we'll pick Dad up from his motel in Dana Point (very flash) and then have lunch at Pete's before taking to the road again for the last time ... 1.5 hours drive to LAX.

Looking forward to being back in NZ and the cooler weather on the 29th October, and then driving home from Auckland on the 30th.
