I'm sitting awaiting the arrival of my first flight so I can get on and start this great journey!! The last 24 hours have been difficult at best. I starting running a fever yesterday, so I promptly called my doctor and Raytheon. It seems I have an ear infection. Not the best timing for flying but certainly better than other options making the rounds here.
Tina Burt and Arnot Medical Services saw me with 2 hours of my initial phone cali and were wonderful as usual!! She's been my nurse practitioner for almost 23 years--can you believe it?? That' more than 1/2 my life!
So, after a MASSIVE dose of antibiotic and some other aids to help during this long upcoming travel, I think I'm all set and have been medically cleared to travel!! A bit tired but ready!! (And, I'm well under the weight limits for baggage!! The electronics bag is the worst!)
I will kick off short updates as I'm able along the way. Otherwise, look for me to post once I get settled in NZ.
Let the games begin!!!!
