Well, my bag is packed, and the journey is about to begin. Today I'll be flying, and waiting, and flying, and waiting, and finally, flying again. I decided against checking any bags for this trip. 1, because they charge too much to check bags, and 2, with multiple stops, I seriously doubt anything checked would make it on the final plane to Bozeman. I shipped all my gear and clothes via UPS two weeks ago, and it was the same price as checking one bag.
Commercial flights are never fun for me. I don't mind being helpless, 20,000 feet above the ground. I do mind being stuffed into a seat that is unaccommodating to my 6'3" frame though. iPod shuffle and the Tao of Wu will get me through today.
Liftoff is scheduled for 3:27pm. We'll see if U.S. Airways can adhere to that departure time. 1st stop is Nashville, TN., then on to Minneapolis, and finally Big Sky Country. For now, I'll take solitude in the quiet oscillation of the fan, and non-existent cries of the felines. I will miss them and the butterfly, but they will survive without me.
The first green light of the morning turned to a green arrow as I approached. This must be the right path.
