Mini Soda
I'm in the Minneapolis airport enjoying a Sam Adams and biding my time for leg numero dos of a three leg journey to Malta. STL to Minnesota to London Gatwick where we get our bags and re-check onto the Air Malta flight to our final destination. Sigh.
And the only reason I can give this update is because I've forked over $9.95/month for the next three months for airport WIFI. Why did I buy this? Well, that's because when we landed, I tried to turn on my iPhone and when I switched from airplane mode to normal mode, it froze. And stayed frozen for an hour until I could get online and find out WTF was up and how the hell to reset the thing. Disaster narrowly averted, I tell you. I'm pretty sure my freak out would have been epic if my phone just up and died before I even left the country on a 9-day jaunt.
It's not so much because I must be contact-able at all times. I was a late adopter of the cell phone and if I leave it at home for the day, it's not going to burn my bacon or anything. But when I go out of the country, I don't know, there's just something about being on the other side of a vast ocean that makes me want to be reachable.
I think I'm all charged up now and the beer is nearly gone. Less than one hour before boarding. I'm off to find a store where I can buy the Hot Fuzz DVD.

They are treating us well here. We have had our dinner and now Corndog won't stop playing with Indy. I'm glad they're outside because I am perfectly happy laying on my bed napping. Have a safe trip. We'll see you in a few days.
Love,

Malta by way of Minnesota- how odd. Have a safe trip chica.
K - You've lost me. Wha? And yes, via MN when you fly Northwest.
Update: Two of the five ppl from my office traveling did not arrive con luggage. But I did. Yay!
Meanwhile, I miss you. I might die if I don't have contact soon. Literally. Die.
