Bon Voyage

Tomorrow we depart for...

here

and here

and here

and here.

Naturally, I'm not excited at all.

As a side note, we arrive back stateside on 9/11 but were supposed to overnight in NY. I called Delta today to see if we could change our flight so we could get home on Saturday night, and they said it would be $150 per ticket. I totally would've paid it considering our tickets were "free" (i.e., SkyMiles). I said I'd speak with my husband and call back. Something made me get on the website to check our reservation, and I realized I could just change them there. Imagine my very pleasant surprise when I was able to change them for FREE. It should've charged me... I know Delta's policies. So, there must've been a glitch in the system. One glitch I am thankful for.

And, as a completely unrelated side note, I am so proud of my baby sister! She started her dental hygiene program yesterday and found out that there were over 160 applicants for only 30 spots in the program. So, that's awesome in and of itself, but the best part is most of those admitted already had a four year degree or dental/medical background/training. She has completed two years of her studies. Awesome! She's a super star. Between our cousin Danny who wants to be a dentist (or he did... I think he's still going that route) and our cousin Alyse who just finished her dental hygiene program, I think we need to start a family practice! ;)
