Totally Unauthorized

And we’re off. Or at least I am; Gail has no interest in spending two weeks in Addis Ababa. She’s playing in sacramento this week–it will be the first time in forever that I’m not.

Another too-early flight. Six fifteen flight means the alarm goes off at four. SFO to Miami to Madrid to Cairo to Khartoum to Addis. Hardly the most efficient route but the one I could get with frequent flyer miles. The photo is the girl in the seat behind me who got on the plane with the neck pillow eyeshade and ear plugs already in place. And I thought I came prepared.
