the inside of terminal E and a Jimmy Dean breakfast sandwich are pretty much all we saw of Miami. at 5am local time, the sun was still down. i spent most of the 1 1/2 hour layover stretching and getting the blood flowing again.

the 5 hour leg from LA went surprisingly quick. luckily, i was able to sleep through almost all of it. i think Jonathan had a good snooze too, but it’s still damn early for us westcoast’ers. and airplane coffee just plain sucks.

right now my legs are taking advantage of the extra room in the bulkhead row. in an hour we should land safely in Puerto Rico. then the shortest flight on the smallest plane. landing right across the street from my new house! i’m glad we have a window seat for that leg.

i have been noting the local temperatures at each of our stops and — ironically enough — they have all been below 85F: American Airline’s max restriction for carrying animals in the cargo hold. Maddy would have been just fine to accompany us. gosh, i miss her!

speaking of special baggage… i wonder how my bike is doing? i haven’t really had the bike long enough to bond with it*, but took such care with the packing that i’ll be sad if anything is broken on the other end.

i hope everyone is waking up to a sunny Friday, wherever you are! stay tuned for pics of the new house! my fingers are crossed that it is simple and clean.

*i haven’t even named it for crying out loud. it’s a white Brodie Dynamo hybrid. name suggestions welcome!
