Flying Away

“Long day for you,” the Delta Agent commented, reading at length the computer screen in front of her. As she continued to scroll and read, I began to grow nervous. Had I left something undone? I checked and RE-checked the need for an ‘e-transit’ visa in Seoul, but the instructions said Americans do not need them. $46 saved by thatπŸ‘πŸ‘. Glancing up she asked if my visa information had been added online. I assured her it was. More reading, a kind word of thanks for being a gold medallion member to bide the time, and then , “E-visa submitted?” (Cambodia)

”Yes,” I replied. I had left no box unchecked. Not even on my packing list.

“Well,” she smiled, “you’re all set for your long day!”

I left my much-too-small carry-on to be checked through to Phnom Penh, grabbed my cheater bag (SORRY Theresa! πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚), and headed up to security. Now one thing that drives my husband batty…I have Global Entry status, which just happens to include TSA pre-check. But I won’t use itπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚. Somehow I feel as if I am cutting in front of everyone who DOESN’T have it. Soooo…I waited in the lengthy line, but I had time. And standing felt good knowing I’d be sitting a long while. Last I checked, I was in the last row of ‘Premium Select’, and the seat next to me was empty. AND the entire ROW to my right too! I am praying both stay empty, but if only one, the seat next to me πŸ™. This will be my longest, non-stop flight ever, and I reckon I’ll fidget. Fourteen hours to the other side of the world. Makes me wonder how I managed to get to Okinawa with two babies in tow. I was younger thenπŸ˜‚.

I am excited, expectant, and so grateful to be able to make this trip. My devotional for this very morning, September 10th, read, ‘The Lord…He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you.’ (Deut 3:18)

I have no doubt I am in very loving and capable hands. πŸ’•πŸ™πŸ’•

Heading to Gate 14, Korean Air.πŸ€—

Glamping

Well, that’s what my roommate Laurie called it anyway. Beautiful tents set on a deck overlooking the Nile. We needed escorts to and from our...
