California

We woke pretty early on Saturday morning - 5.30 to be precise.  It's incredible how blue the sky gets just prior to the sunrising.  It's like a sapphire...and its the ONLY thing thats good at that time of the morning frineds!!  Here's Mr Big (looking VERY delicious in his travelling outfit!) on the porch at Castle Allen

Onwards to the airport!  Can this trip get any better??  YES, our flight actually was leaving from the N Gates.  N GATES - that means you get to ride the train to get out there.  Lookie at how excited Mr Big is.  If you could see my face it was as excited.  We love trains...even the short ones.

Mr Big is such a wonderful man and he knows me sooo well - he knows I hate to fly so he held my hand and kept close by as it was nearing time to board

Here's our plane all set up ready to receive us

and it would stay set up for the next few hours.  We were supposed to fly out at 9am and we finally FINALLY left around 1pm.  You suck Alaska Airlines...but you wont stop us from our journey, and now we are ON OUR WAY (after 45 minutes of waiting on the tarmac while you find other people to sell seats too of course)

Someone was pretty sleepy after all the waiting excitement

but now we have a fully loaded plane, its time to fly this bird south.

Stay tuned for our arrival at the resort...
