Travel Day. Wednesday Jan 30

·        Very grateful to Linda/Lauren for taking care of Emmy. When we arrived in DFW they'd texted a picture of Emmy resting on Lauren!  

·        AA Business class seats are difficult to get in/out of but better for taller people than UAL.

·        Nice to have similar time zones.  5 hours total difference.  We’ve already adapted to 2 hours by adjusting our sleep times before we left.

·        Weird to be leaving the house again after home for 6 weeks (Paris).  Same close things down steps.

·        PDX a wonderful airport. People playing music.  45 minutes from the house, through check in and checking baggage, to the gate

·        AA seats are on an angle with your feet pointed towards center line of plane so entire body is at an angle.  Weird feeling during takeoff!
