Well the bags are packed and now I'm just waiting for Julie and the grandkids to pick me up.  We are going out to eat before they drop me off at the airport at 5:30pm.  My flight leaves at 7:40pm (EST) and arrives in LA at 10:23 (PCT).  The flight to LA is 5 1/2 hours long.  I've never flown by myself nor have I ever flown at night so this will be interesting to say the least.  Julie doesn't understand my anxiety of doing this on my own.  She says "as many times as we've flown to LA you should not have any problems finding your way around the airport."  I tell her that I always follow her lead when we are manuevering our way through the airports.  However, thinking back now, I do remember one time when she took us to the wrong departure gate at the Atlanta airport. I guess I am finally growing up now that I will be flying all by myself for the first time.  Wish me luck!  One last note: Chris is worried about the weather forecast of snow for Williams, Arizona.  I told him to get use to it after all he is moving to New York.  To be continued.........
