I was up early – around 4am – so as to have time to get to the airport for a 6am flight to Chicago. This is where my journey begins.
Cindy and I spend the last couple of days together, trying to relax and get in some quality time before I leave for about 10 days. We have had a great time and I know I’m going to miss her very much while I’m gone. I spent the night last night in Roanoke so I wouldn’t have to get up so early this morning BUT 4am still came fast.
I’m sitting at the airport now (5:20am) waiting for my first of three flights. This one will get me from Roanoke to Chicago. I’ll meet up with Mike there and, together, we’ll fly on to Hong Kong. That’s going to be one long flight – 15 hours and 17 minutes! After a short layover in Hong Kong, we’ll pick up our last flight from Hong Kong to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It’s still almost unbelievable to write those words. The next few days will be simply amazing. I’m sure of it!
