Day 1 - Lulu Is Taking Me To Europe for 20 Days

George took us to the Tallahassee Airport.
Notice - we each have
 one carry-on bag and one backpack

Notice how tough it is going through
 security. We were the only ones in line. 

Lulu has a conference in Valencia Spain. As long as we are going on a long flight - we decided to extend it to 20 days. It now includes a visit to the Island of Majorca - and a cruise around the Mediterranean Sea. 

We will be watching the NCAA March Madness Basketball thingy using our Slingbox connection - Apple TV - Directv.com - and Xfinity.com
