OK, so I'm packed and ready to go, aside from the stuff that I'll need in the morning (bathroom stuff, this laptop, etc) Im packing light. I have a 24” pullman that has my carry-on pullman inside it. I have 5 t-shirts, 5 pairs of socks, 5 pairs of undies, one pair of PJs, a pair of jeans, one sweatshirt, a pair of shorts (to go to the gym in) and a pair of sneakers. Aside from what I'm wearing on the plane, that's all I'll need.

The morning flight tomorrow is full, and there's three people on the standby list ahead of me. The afternoon flight has space available on it and the evening flight has about 20-odd seats on it as well. I'm going to try for the afternoon flight, and if I can't get on, then I'm going to catch the evening flight. So long as I get to Miami tomorrow night, it's all good.

In all the times I've ever been to Miami, I've never actually gone down to the beach. My friend Shannon is driving down from Ft Lauderdale tomorrow night to meet up with me and we're going to head down to South Beach and get some dinner and do some people watching. Of course, the one time I have a plan to go to the beach in Miami, there's a cold front coming through. Temps are supposed to drop into the 40s in Miami Sunday. Wonderful. At least it will give me a 12 hour acclimatization before I fly north to Canada.

I don't really have any plans for the week, other than xmas day with the family. I'm going to play it all by ear, especially since I really only have a week. A few times when I've gone home, I've ended up parceling out my time in “appointments” to make sure that I saw everyone and did everything on everyone else's list. Didn't make for a very relaxing holiday. I get in Monday night, Im gonna pop down to the Irish Heather on the way to my parent's house and raise a glass with Fedde, and at some point during the week I'm making a road trip out to The 'Wack to pick up a bag at Scott's that he brought home for me last month.

Unless something... NOTABLE happens between now and then, I probably wont be posting anything, so consider yourself wished a Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, or a freak-nasty Kwanzaa!
