Somehow or other I’ve managed to get all my work done, put the last-minute touches on the trip, and get to the airport with time to spare (thanks, Mary!).

If you’re at Denver International Airport, find the Bridge Security section–much faster than going through the main security lines.

I admit, I’m actually just looking forward to getting on the plane and doing nothing. Life’s been a little too hectic the past 6 months. So, off I go; first stop Iceland for a quick layover, meet up with my brother Andrew and his wife, Mindi, and then we’re on to Paris, where we’ll meet up with our brother Tim and his wife, Ann.
