It's still hard to believe the Sabbatical has now begun! The first day couldn't have gone more smoothly. Don Ruff graciously offered to take us to the airport, and showed up 45 minutes early so we wouldn't be worried about the time. We also will forever be thankful that he agreed to look after our sour dough starter for two months without any warning. Happy Birthday Don!
We had no sooner gotten through airport security screening and settled in to wait our flight with Starbuck's cups in hand, when Scott and Frank Craft appeared. It turns out they were headed to St. Louis, but on the same flight to Seattle with us...and we were in row 11 and they were in row 12! So our time at the Portland airport and our flight to Seattle was made very enjoyable with such good company.
We went right from our plane in Seattle to board our plane to Minneapolis. We arrived in Minneapolis ahead of time. The weather is much the same here as in Portland when we left, only a little less rainy, and 59 degrees. The air is cool and refreshing after a day of stale airplane air. We found a taxi and got to the Travelodge.
Tomorrow we'll get our car and head West through Minnesota most of the day. We are so excited to be off on this great adventure.
