Philly, July 2009 - Heading to the UK

Started to wrap up packing. Joe called and wanted to get together for lunch. I showed up around noon. I gave Gretchen one of my Malta glass globes. She was very pleased to receive it. Joe and I went to the Broad Axe Tavern. Then we went to a place at the Plymouth Meeting Mall. I headed home to finish packing and swung by CVS to get the last of my coffee and soap. When I got home, Tracy had replied to last night’s email. Tracy had sent a message saying she arrive in Anaheim with no issues and gave me an update on her day. In a second message she said, “That was a perfect night!” talking about Monday night. She ended the email with XOXO. Kindya makes me feel good. Her flight from CA leaves about the same time mine does. I left for the airport at 7:30PM, checked in with no issues. My bag weighed in at 43lbs. Nevertheless, there is no charge for envoy class. I headed to the Envoy club to relax until the plane started boarding. They called my flight and as soon as I reached the gate, they started the boarding process for Envoy class. We had clear skies and a full moon. The reflection off the water was beautiful.
