I wasn't sure if I could post this morning since I didn't have time before I left the hotel. It took me an hour to back this brief case so that everything essential fit and the security point made me take everything out to check the laptop. So since it is out I'll write a few lines before I go through the effort of repacking.
This airport is a madhouse. I used this airport in the past as a way to avoid the chaos that is MIA, but this has to be as bad or worse. I am in the waiting area now and have about a half hour to kill before we go through the torture of embarkation.
Yesterday was a day of rest and recuperation. I did laundry, napped, did some shopping and made up a box of stuff and sent it home. There was stuff that I will never need on this trip and a few souvenirs. I have been very sparse in buying anything since I can get a lot of this merchandise over the internet after I get home. I am still carrying too much but since it is still more than a month before I can get home I think it is too soon to jettison too much.
I thought I was carrying too much until I saw the load some others were lugging. One boy about 9 was pulling a pull behind suitcase that was as tall as he and about twice as wide. Another couple about my age had twocarts of luggage and required a whole team of skycaps. Next trip, I will pack lighter.
It's time now to repack and get organized again. If I can't get online, I will go back to writing a separate letter.
About Me
- JIM LAMB
- Virginia beach, Virginia, United States
- After 40 years of marriage to a wonderful, talented and beautiful woman, I am now alone. As I retired from the US Navy, and then retired from several other companies and professions, now I am retired from being married. I guess i am also semi-retired from being a father. Since my children never obeyed me even when they were young, I really can't expect them to follow my advice now that they are all adults and some are even quite middle aged. So I am going to harass my six children by visiting them on a regular basis and foisting advce on them that I know they will ignore. Fortunately the is no need to retire from grandfathering. I just want more to spoil than the 7 I already have.

Matthew got your postcard today, he's excited about it. I had told him you were on a boat and he said "I thought Grandpa was on a train." I said,"Yes that was before now he's on a boat". "Oh, (pause)is he looking for treasure?" I said "He could be". Hope you are still having fun, Love, Peggy
