And so it begins!

We are starting the trip of a lifetime. The sun is not up yet but the full moon is shining enough for us to see our way at oh dark five.

Here is the Princess and me waiting for the Hyde’s. We could not wait in the house any longer. Excitement of finally getting on the road was overwhelming.

Here is the first, of many to come, of the group photos. Waiting in Phoenix for the first of many flights.

Our first stop along our first days journey. Hollywood and home to other celebrities. Saw the first sign to our next stop.

While at LAX we followed the path forged by the Dusel’s looking for the international terminal. Look who, because of his new look, was designated as porter. Note what my wing man is hauling!

We were six plus hours early. So off to the Hilton for adult beverages and a snack. Great way to kill three hours.

Then back to the airport. Wife 2 and the Princess trying to get us into the special lounge. But we tried first class and got bumped to business class lounge. Still not bad place to kill two and a half hours before boarding.

Well it is time. We have a pod for four. Also we are with our sweeties. That is Nate and I. We just finished toasting our ladies for setting this up and in anticipation of meeting the silverbacks! That is it for now. We leave in five minutes. Welcome aboard!
