All our bags are packed, we're ready to go...

Told the cab driver we were going to Washington DC for a couple of days.  After loading 120+ pounds of luggage, do you think he believed us? 
So the first leg is done...the easy one.  Well not so easy as we were responsible for holding up the plane for 30 minutes.  Not our fault...for some strange reason when the ticket agent signed us in he did not enter our passports.  At the gate they were unable to do it.  It took 5 of them to finally get it right.  Bob's reservation kept looking for a different passport.  Guess that must be the one from the other wife.
Have visited the duty free shop for just a quick purchase...any guesses???? And not a little lunch and we are ready to sit for the next 17 hours.  Luckily the plane isn't full and the lady was very accommodating and gave us some excellent seats...we hope. Next stop Dakar, Senegal for technical stop (read that as gas stop) Johannesburg later today...no tomorrow.
Editorial note...already missing my travel buds.  This luggage tag just doesn't tell the story.

  1. It does seem different not traveling as the Trio. We will be living vicariously through your posts. Send lots of pictures and text.
