On the road (or rather in the air)

Things are really going very well! The kids took me out for a steak dinner last night. This morning my wife, Scott took me to the airport, (I had some doubt that she would--she does not like to get up early in the morning). My plane tickets had me going to Minneapolis and then on to Honolulu. Just as it was time to board, the agent announced that he needed someone to be bumped (for $400!) I quickly moved past the other four people that thought they might. I moved to AA and went to Dallas. There, I got on standby and caught a flight that I beat my luggage to Honolulu! Got a sandwich, hit the email at the hotel, will try to rest for a minute before catching a taxie to the Air Force Base (0200 hrs.) and a military plane to Kwajalein.
