Keith,
Tuesday July 31:
I will be in arriving in Houston (IAH - Intercontinental) at 7:30am and I'll have a layover for 2 hours and 20 minutes then I'll be getting on a crop duster to fly into Easterwood. I am set to arrive at CLL at 10:55am. Tam's husband, Ken offered to pick me up in Houston! As it is CLL is about 6 miles from their home and either Ken or Tam will meet me there. I'll be getting a 30 day temp tag in downtown Bryan across from the Court House on E Wm J Bryan Pkwy, and proof of insurance will be faxed to me, then I'll be looking to head north. I'm thinking 2pm departure for Waco, West (the little Texas town) then some burb of Dallas. Brent suggested washing down some mexican grub with a Margarita made with Patron Anejo, Cointreau and Grand Marnier.

Tam and Ken gave me their addy so I can UPS my stuff to them. In Orlando, I'll be boarding the Jet Robert Style, i.e., helmet and jacket only in hand! Foot loose and fancy free! I like traveling light when I have to deal with the TSA. Actually no tools over 7 inches in length are allowed in carry on baggage. So I said to myself, "self, why not send all your stuff?"

That is the plan as it stands now. Wednesday I plan on watching B-52s land at Tinker Air Force Base, paying respects at the Memorial then meeting up with Greg for supper. After that, I'll be wandering back to Merritt Island through the States of Arkansas, Louisiana (maybe), Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia.

(Would someone send me a grand so I can take two weeks off and tour halfway properly?)
