In Flight

Catching the flight to Minneapolis was not without incident but we're on it. It will have been 27 hours of travel for me before we get on the real plane; the one that goes to Paris. This has just been foreplay so far.  

Nick often stays up until 2 or 3 a.m. and sleeps late. Today he arose at 6:00 a.m., getting a dose of what jet lag feels like. I don't dare tell him that actual jet lag is much, much worse. He might mutiny.

When we arrive in Minneapolis, we’ll only have about 20 minutes before boarding the real plane. That's a good thing.
