Ready for departure; attendants check your cross-hatch.

Departure date is set for Saturday, June 26: Calgary to Gatwick. God willin', the river don't rise, and the volcano don't blow. Dave and I are ready to flee this continent. My first trip to the British Isles - a return visit for Dave, whose Mother was a British War Bride. The Aunties are still living and this will be an opportunity for him to connect with this side of his family. And, he is attending an IB conference in Oxford. For me, it is just an adventure. God made this world to be sooo amazing, want to see as much of it as I can.
