I booked myself a good seat for that, so that I wouldn't have to worry about climbing over a bunch of people to get up, yes! I think the ticket I was looking at gave me a 7 hour layover somewhere in the states, probably on the east coast. So that's a lot of time to rest, too.
I should probably take a few packets of Airborne along with me. The last thing I need is to catch an early fall Cold during the trip.
Yes! I'm looking forward to this, and that's so kind of you, offering me your surfboard like that. I'll have to make sure I know how to take care of it well. It looks like we've already got our first shopping trip planned out!
