Off we go.
Sitting in the Rochester airport, about to board our flight to Detroit. Three hour layover there, and then we’re Tokyo-bound. I think it really just hit us (me and Lane) last night that this was really happening.
Traveling with Lane is a treat…having an enthusiastic, articulate 9-year-old along changes the way everyone around us reacts. It’s hard not to smile when you see him radiating excitement.
He’ll be blogging this trip; once he starts posting (perhaps during the layover in Detroit, if we find WiFi), I’ll link to him from here. We’re going to use his blog as a way for him to communicate with his fourth-grade class in Rochester while he’s gone—he’ll be able to post photos and stories, and they’ll be able to comment and ask questions.
We’re fully wired on this trip; Lane has his GameBoy and a brand new game (Sword of Mana). I’ve got my powerbook (with two extra fully-charged batteries), and my iPod (with two unabridged books downloaded from Audible.com; Orson Scott Card’s Ender’s Game, and Margaret Atwood’s Oryx and Crake.
They’re boarding, so off we go.
