Hasta Luego

Can you tell I'm going to Costa Rica? Tomorrow. Well, I'm driving to Charlotte airport area tomorrow; I'm flying out Saturday am. Why drive all that way (6+ hours) when there are two airports within 2 hours? Simple - US Airways flies direct from Charlotte to San Jose, Costa Rica. My luggage gets on the plane when I do and gets off again in San Jose. It doesn't have to wander around any other airports in order to join me at my destination. Having dealt with wayward luggage on paddling trips to Central America in the past, I find this a compelling reason to drive to Charlotte. It's not all bad; I'll stop to see Jim and Scott at their new business on the way.

I'm leaving the Aran vest at this point of completion (or incompletion, actually). Armhole shaping is just about done.



I'm taking 3 socks in process with me. No, not Scott's socks. Not yet.

Terry was spayed yesterday. David will bring her home tomorrow. I hate it that she has to return from major surgery and find her mommy gone. For almost 2 weeks! Lousy timing, but the kid was approaching "that" age and I couldn't risk letting her mature while I was gone.

So until I return, here's a photo of the kitten child, keeping me company at the sewing machine.
