Best Greek Easter Ever

Jumping Off Point


Here we are at the Radisson at the SF Airport, scheduled to fly out @ 12:30 PM.
We had a great send-off dinner with family last night at Frantoio in Mill Vally (Athena goes off to Peru today for two weeks too). They voiced some objections that I started my travel blog with Greek Easter, as technically I was at home, not traveling. I protest! A journey can be spiritual, attitudinal, emotional, etc. as well as geographical; a journey of 1,000 miles begins with the first step, it takes a village, blah blah blah (fill in your old saw here).
The flight from LAX to Tahiti has already been delayed from 1PM to 6 PM to now 7:45 PM ETD, so it looks like we won't get there today. I haven't found out why the delay. I suppose it could have something to do with the Iceland volcano- I heard only one flight went out from SFO to Europe yesterday. More to follow.

  1. Resistance is futile. The more things change the more they stay the same. We are family. I'd like to teach the world to sing in perfect harmony.

    Delays are ok just so long as you get there.

    Great gathering, great pix. Fayne did a fine job.

    Bon Voyage.

    The picture that Fayne took is wonderful!

  3. Fayne thanks you both for the accolades.

  4. The only thing missing from the pix was the red carpet. If Fayne needs something to do to keep her busy in NZ, she could join the paparazzi ranks and ambush celebrities outside of posh eateries.
