As usual, I ended up packing last minute. I had good intentions and began packing 2 days ago and thought I was finished until yesterday afternoon when I realized a small detail. I forgot to pack my helmet! So... now I needed a bigger suitcase. Got one then switched everything over last night. Then... went to close the suitcase and broke the zipper. Now I needed the third suitcase. By the time I switched everything over again and got to bed, it was midnight. 4am came quickly. Showered and in the car by 4:45. Not bad, but one stop before the airport. I was in Walmart at 5am. WOW! That place is busy at that time. At least 50 people stocking the shelves and then a few strange people shopping. Should have snapped a few pics. Picked up a couple things I had forgotten, got a Starbucks (with an extra shot) and made it to the airport by 5:30. Flight to Washington D.C. really bumpy on landing otherwise uneventful. Richard just had his wheat bran, so all is well. Boarding for Geneva, Switzerland in one hour.
