Check in was a Breeze!

Hey everyone - check-in was a breeze. I did online checkin on Tuesday and got our boarding passes. Got to the airport at 2:20 and were at the gate at about 3:10. No problem. We used skycaps and curbside check-in although we didn't need too. It was great! The guy was able to take our bags to the front of the x-ray line (did I mention the line was horrendous? Use skycaps or personnel - they take you to the front of the line!) with Steve while the girls and I stayed at the counter giving our clerk a hard time. We snapped a picture of him while working to prove he did. LOL He was fun. He was even able to get Priscilla 1 row behind us directly instead of 7 rows behind Steve's assigned seat but we may kick Steve back there as he will probably be snoring! He pulled 2 all nighters the night before we left. Please excuse any typing errors as I am trying out my new notebook - 10-inch screen works all right but takes some getting used too!

As for me - I am actually doing really well. Only 2 minor blow-ups on my part which is really fantastic - Steve keeps remarking - wow - your doing great. Did I mention I am a terrible flyer? LOL

One of the reasons I blew up was that I was attempting to post from my new iphone to blogger dot com. Couldn't - so asked Megan why - she thought it was because I had my old phone number in there. We deleted it and BAM! Nothing but problems. Turns out iPhone is not compatible with blogging just yet. :-( So now when I tried to enter my old number - problems - seems that when DH gave me the new Nextel i930 International # - the "Know-It-Alls" at Nextell "FORGOT" (DUH!) to activate text messaging. DOY!

So now that they have attempted to activate text messaging, turns out that Blogger has been having some texting problems. So as of the moment, no picture availibility. Double :-(

We are at gate 121 at the International Tom Bradley Terminal. We got through the line in less than 1/2 hr - the girls are now sitting on the floor playing cards and I need to tell them to not take up so much space - or not! If not them - someone else will. Although it is kinda nice to see such excitement and exurberance from the younger ones. Perhaps they are the reasons I'm still sane. OK - I will sign off for now. Our plane is scheduled to take off at 5:50 pm and it is now 4:01. May try to check on here again.

I have now had 2 SMALL slices of pepperoni pizza which really ='s 1 small Domino slice and I broke down and had regular coke to help aid the tylonol (OK spelled wrong here) go down faster.

Dang - forgot my ginger pills. Oh well, Guess I'll be hitting that El Cortes Ingles much faster to see if they have it - now to remember what the Spanish or Catalona word is for Ginger? Any guesses anyone?

Later gators.
