It's here! It's time.
Our 2012 Blogosphere Trip is starting today!
Olive and I checking our departure time
At long last the 2012 Blogosphere trip is here! What a fun time we will have. Many of you voted on our destination and after a drawing to pick our destination, Australia, we are now heading out for a week of fun!
Olive, my niece, and I are flying out of Chicago's O'Hare airport today and catching an early flight. You can see from the photo above we are checking our departure time and what gate we need to be at. My tummy is nervous with excietment as we start our journey.
It is with a heavy heart as we wait on the plane for our take off. You see this has been a hard year in the blogosphere as many of our dear friends have left for the bridge and are unable to be with us on this year's trip. Each day we think of them and keep them close to us in our hearts. I have just recently lost my love,
Tamir, though we had such a short time together we crammed a lot into our being together. He just recently went to the bridge and as a matter of fact he and I prescouted Australia last month to check out places to visit with our friends on this trip. As I wait for take off I settle back and read his last and only love note that he sent to me. I keep it near and it makes me feel close to him when I read it. I almost didn't come on this trip but Tamir's mommie said that he would have wanted me to not stay home, so here I am. I decided to invite my niece, Olive, as she too is sad with the loss of her brother Opus, he left for the bridge not even a year ago yet. I think this trip will be good for both of us.
My love note from Tamir
. . . Waiting for the go ahead from the control tower.
Off we go, Olive and I watch out the window seeing Chicago get smaller and smaller until soon we will not see it anymore. We now sit back and relax for our long journey across the big pond. We can hardly wait to get to our destination. We will keep you posted from Australia.
