Lift Off..... Day 1: Miami outbound............

It's May 15, 2012 and I'm packed barely, or should I say heavily...... trying to tie up last minute bits and pieces and generally attempting to keep the panic level set at low....  Here in Miami it's 86 degrees F and where I'm landing tomorrow morning it's 57 degrees F...... which I realized at 4am this morning and that my wardrobe had to be significantly padded for layering. Departing 4:25pm Miami time and landing 10:00am destination time. That's 4741 miles .... If all goes well I'll stop by on my way and leave a hint behind me. Ready to go yet? This is just trip one so grab a snack, some water, eye mask and ear plugs... remember I've been up since 4am. Nap time to next stop.......
