Quick Note

I have arrived! I hope all is well at home. I am off to church in a few minutes. Let's hope I can stay awake. I've never fallen asleep in church before and I don't want to have my first time be in Brazil.

Scared the Lady

I was able to get on the Internet and watch the Auburn game since none of the bars were watching ESPN2. Unfortunately, I scared an older woman sitting near me on several occasions when I yelled for Auburn quietly. I really was yelling quietly. Okay so it is someone else's normal voice, but then I started doing a whisper yell. What a great game. It helped me pass the time in Miami.

I had Cuban food for a late lunch and it was pretty good for the airport.

I'm about to board. Everything seems to be on schedule. It is an 8 hour flight.

A Day of Travel Has Begun

Woody and I just said "Goodbye" to Jessica. She dropped us off at the airport in Birmingham with 2 - 60 pound bags, a backpack and purse. Woody is traveling light with only his cowboy hat. He is anxious to get to his new home with Daniel. He is a surprise from Daniel's parents. It just wouldn't have been right to put Woody in the checked baggage so he is accompanying me during the flight. I only hope he protects me from bandits . We do have one slight problem, he has lost his gun. Although, I don't think we would have made it through security with his gun. Also, I have a strong aversion to prison.

We will arrive in Belo Horizonte tomorrow morning at 9:25 am which is 6:25 am in Birmingham. We have a 6 hour layover in Miami which is where we are headed first.

I just hope Woody doesn't decide to say "there is a snake in my boot" during our flights. It could cause quite a stir.

Belo Horizonte Here We Come!

Preparing for Belo Horizonte, Brazil

Airline tickets - check. Brazil Visa - check. Bags packed - half a check.

Guess what? I will have a traveling companion flying to Brazil so make sure you check back on Saturday to see a picture of me and my traveling buddy.

Let the adventures begin.
