Well, the day's finally here - the start of a three week road trip with Jenny that is sure to be once in a lifetime.  Finished up my work for the morning and have given instructions to my charges and now it's time for vacation.

It's been a busy month of traveling already.  First, I went to Jenny's concert at the Long Beach Aquarium early in June and just last week, visited my parents and Kat (plus her boyfriend) back in NC.  Very glad I got TSA Pre-Check.  If anyone doesn't have it, I highly recommend it (or Global Entry which is $15 more but includes it).  I essentially have had no security lines to go through and it's a breeze not having to take shoes off, laptop out, etc.

Going away for three weeks, I think this will be my longest trip since I graduated from high school.  I've done a few two week trips but being gone three weeks, I'm nervous I'll forget something important but oh well... Three weeks with Jenny!  The long weekend over Spring Break in Sonora with her was awesome so I'm really looking forward to this trip.

My plane leaves from JFK around 1:15 PM to LAX via PHX so heading out the door soon and then it's see ya NYC until July 18.
