We made it to Dallas. Our adventure began in Mpls with a (our first?) celebrity sighting. We walked into the security line a couple people behind Sen. Al Franken, laughing on his cell phone. Apparently, he was in town for the Pride festival. The man in line behind us had been at the parade and shook his hand there. Exciting - the good kind - and smooth travels so far! Our nine hour flight to Madrid leaves Dallas at 5:45 pm.
