Charlotte Airport, North Carolina
Well, here we go! The "things I'm carrying" in my pack all laid out on the bed before we left the house. Pack is still 1 lb too heavy--I'm sure I'll realize soon what things I can really do without. We fly to Philly then to Madrid, where we'll meet Clare just after customs (that's the plan). Hoping for sleep on the transatlantic flight, although it hasn't happened before. Thanks for all of the training help and support--we have fabulous friends and family!
