I’m sitting upstairs in the international terminal at LAX waiting for my flight to Zurich. From there, I fly to Athens, where Kristin and Karen will be meeting me at the airport. Kristin’s been in Athens a few days, and Karen arrives about half a day ahead of me. It will be terrific to see them both! I don’t arrive in Athens until just after midnight Saturday night local time, but I am traveling well-fortified with Roger’s sandwiches and homemade baklava.

I thought I'd pick up some Lindt chocolate for Roger and Karla on the way home.

Technology certainly has made it easier to keep in touch while traveling. We are all planning on using Skype, which is a fun way to use video as well as audio. Roger and I tested it out a few minutes ago, and he screen captured me on his computer.

Me, As Seen With Skype's Screen Capture

Unfortunately, no technology is likely to help me with jet lag. I react to 3 hours, so the ten between California and Athens should be truly entertaining 🙂 But with so much to see and do, I don’t think I’m going to be worrying much about jet lag! Stay tuned for pictures! Our hotel has a super view of the Acropolis.
