I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh dear, billytea! Best of luck

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Dana, Vonnie lives in Pittsburgh and really likes it, I think...

Yeah, I talked to her last time it was a vague possibility. That would definitely be a big plus.

Oh no, billytea. I hope against hope that it works out.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm sorry, BillyTea. I hope they find a way to make things work.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Crisis averted! After some serious panic and one crying jag (I'm back under control now) The website processed the enrollment in less than half an hour. We're now waiting to board.

We passed an automated kiosk inviting us to "Rate our experience at Melbourne Airport". They didn't have a button for "terrifying".

Thanks for the well wishes. I'd been joking about Customs slapping a tariff on Biyi, but this was a bit too nerve-wracking. (Biyi is now considering whether to apply for Australian citizenship.)

Oh! For those playing along at home, our itinerary:

San Diego (ZOOOOO!!)
Las Vegas and Grand Canyon tour
New York (Hamilton!)
Washington D.C.
San Francisco
Los Angeles

And finally, three nights in Hawaii to recover from this insane schedule.

(We of course are open to catching up with people while we're there! And sorry we couldn't fit in some more stops.)

Our wings are not tired.

Crisis averted!

What a relief! Fortunately I read the conclusion moments after the crisis so it was much faster for me.

You surely deserve smooth travels the rest of your itinerary.
