Preflight – Wednesday – September 15 After months of planning, tomorrow we leave.  I’m excited, scared, apprehensive, giddy, worried, and on pins and needles, all at the same time.  I know I’m not going to be able to sleep tonight.  Maybe I should have a beer.  I just hope we have everything covered.  I hate [...]
