Today has been a little bit hectic at times, but now that it is past 4:30, I am feeling a little bit better about things. A trip to the Apple Store this a.m. was helpful, but I am still not overly confident on my new machine! I can do the basics, though, and I think I will be fine.
I heard from Dave Hicks today, my friend who books the standby flights for me. He can 'check the loads' and says that it looks hopeful that I will get ON all of my scheduled flights, but that it is UNLIKELY that I will get the upgrade on the ATL to Amsterdam flight. If I only get one upgrade, I would prefer it be on the Amsterdam to Mumbai leg of the trip. I'm still praying, and asking for at least an Economy Comfort seat! Four extra inches makes a big difference on an 8 hour flight!
Admittedly I am disappointed that I will be missing Richmond's first real snow. I am happy to be flying S from here, and trust that the storm won't affect getting to Europe. Let's see.
Since I will have my little machine with me, I will try to update along the way. I will put something criptic on FB, but don't want to give too much information to anyone who might be lerking.
I posted a link to some information about pornography and how bad it is in our society these days, and the affect that it has on human trafficking. If you are a friend on FB, I ask you to take time to look at it. Porn is becoming a problem for younger and younger males. We need to educate and encourage. A couple of weekends ago, I attended a conference about ending modern day slavery. I was reminded again of how important it is to educate young people, both male and female, of the dangers.
Back to the task at hand. Really looking forward to locking the door behind me for ahile and getting the journey started
