It's time to fly - bring cash

Well, I wussed out - couldn't watch the Repub Convention. Just a bad person, I guess.

We really are starting to settle in to the new gallery. A couple more of the artists checked in and brought some pieces in for the Gallery Hop. There's a good ad in the newspaper's In The City give-away magazine, touting the new location.

Both bags are packed and ready to go, as well as the camera bag. I'll get my tote bag finished off tomorrow. John had the frustrating time. He was going to print out the boarding passes, and spent about an hour plus a phone call trying to get it all done. Only to find out that we couldn't do that because we don't have an e-ticket - we have a paper ticket. At least we're not flying on Southwest, so we already have seat assignments. And we are aware that American Airlines is now charging $5.00 for each checked bag.

Then I went on line to find out if a meal was being served. Well, yes, there is food available on the flight - for a price. A bag of potato chips is $3.00; a wrap or a sandwich (alone) is $6.00; and for only $10.00!, you can get a sandwich AND chips. Be still my heart! I guess we'll pick up something in the airport to take on the plane - or else just be hungry until we get to Ann & Al's. This is a photo of an American Airlines meal from an earlier time.












We will have access to a computer for the first two weeks we'll be gone, but I don't know how regularly I'll get the time to write. Please keep checking in, and I'll blog when I can.
