Laurie and Gela, you guys are kinda lucky. My flight leaves the island in the morning. I'm generally in an absolute flap just trying to ensure my bags are packed and that I'm going to make the taxi.

I've decided that next trip, I'm going to stay overnight in Houston on the way back. That way I don't have to fly out until afternoon. I'll be able to sleep in, have a leisurely lunch and who knows . maybe I'll want another cocktail before I leave. Then I'm going to crash out in the Heavenly bed in my room at the Sheraton Houston North, perhaps after a little room service. Then I'll get up early, refreshed and ready for my morning flight to Calgary. I'll pop into the office and put in a few hours in the afternoon. Doesn't that make sense?

Well, it does and it doesn't, but at least once, I'd like to try leaving later in the day and see if that improves the usual aspects of my departures.

A fish and a bird can fall in love, but where will they build their nest?
