Pre-Trip Jitters

Well, it's V-1 (Vacation Day -1) and I've decided to post something today rather than 3:00 AM tomorrow morning. We're pretty much ready to go...bags are packed and boarding tickets are printed. We'll go to bed early tonight so we can get up at an unGodly time of the morning to get to the airport by 4:30 AM. The only potential fly in the ointment (and it's a BIG one) is Hurricane Irene, or I should say, the aftermath of Hurricane Irene. We have a non-stop flight from PDX to JFK tomorrow morning and, if you've been following the news, New York airports (including JFK) are currently closed. They're scheduled to open tomorrow afternoon, but there could be LONG flight delays. Hopefully, we'll leave Portland relatively on time and be able to connect through to our outbound flight to Istanbul without any major delays, but there's the possibility we may be spending the night in New York or even at home here in Vancouver. I'll keep you all posted.

Not the best omen for the start of this vacation!
