Either during the planning or the trip itself, any changes that need to be made should be done to the other stops but not the pillars. The idea is to then plan the rest of the trip around them. I read in a book I bought, The Big Trip from the Lonely Planet, about identifying the trip's pillars, the must-stops. The first element of getting ready, beyond deciding to go of course, was deciding where to go. No pictures for this entry, unless we can get those cool MRIs that show brain activity. I (Michael speaking) will use this blog entry to capture our thoughts about getting ready, another lesson learned, and talking to people about the trip. While this flight may not be exciting me, I hope I never forget what a joy it is to go on this big adventure or share my life with someone so special to me.Īs the day of our departure draws near (8 October), we are thinking more and more about our big trip. Undoubtedly, being able to share the mundane with Holly, wherever we are, is what makes it exciting. Excited as I am about the forthcoming big adventures-Antarctica, Machu Picchu, New Zealand-I am also excited about the mundane-having coffee in the morning, reading great books, writing this blog. I was building my adventure reading list, pulling recommendations from the latest issue of Outside magazine, before I started writing. Holly has been reading The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and now is resting. I guess I should be soaking up every aspect of this journey, but right now I won't be too disappointed when this flight is over. Hope this isn't some kind of omen about our luggage. We took out the essentials and then I struggled my way back up the aisle to deliver our bags to the guy waiting on the airbridge. Lesson learned, listen to the flight attendants. We didn't believe her, but, of course, she was right. Seriously?We don't rate at least a 737? The lady at the gate said our bags wouldn't fit in the cabin, so she gave us checked bag tags. The flight from Salt Lake City to Houston is 3 hours on a commuter jet. Flying with only carry-on bags didn't last past our first flight.
