Well it's the night before we start our latest adventure. Bags have been packed since Monday (which is really odd because I am really a last minute packer!), house is cleaned up, weather has been checked, double checked, triple checked....(well you get the picture!). Let me reiterate that my husband is a weather nut meaning that he has to check the weather several times a day to see if it's changed. This starts at least 15 days out because that's when Accuweather.com starts posting long term forecasts! We've checked in for our flights and printed our boarding passes. We are leaving from Pittsburgh Airport tomorrow which creates a small problem for my husband as he usually flies out of Cleveland for business and invariably we start out and head toward Cleveland. Our flight leaves at 8:30 AM so we will be up at 4:00 AM, out of the house by 5:00 AM, at the airport parked and in line by 6:30 AM. It's kind of like clock-work anymore.
Because my husband travels a lot for business, we have several travel perks...one of which is the use of the President's Clubs at the airport. Believe me I never had a clue how the other half lives until I was escorted into the President's Club! Actually it's not quite as exciting as it sounds but it does have free food (really snacks but sometimes it's better than others). You can count on cheese and crackers, Waverly cookies, free drinks and a comfortable seat...so really much better than sitting at the gate. We also were able to use miles to upgrade to First Class on the trip out. Since we are traveling from Pittsburgh to Houston and Houston to Seattle it's nice to sit in the comfort of First Class and nicer that it didn't cost! Travel days are always exhausting, especially when the flight is to the West Coast and isn't direct, so it will be nice to be able to have a little more room and comfort to try to get some rest on the trip out. Nothing big planned other than traveling to Seattle and driving to our hotel hub in Portland, OR. Just anxious to get going!!!
