Hampton Inn Dallas/Arlington-Dfw Arpt-Six Flags Grand Prairie

After a 12 hour drive, my longest push the whole trip, I arrived in Dallas. I found John and Patty's house, and although it was late, they were both up and waiting for me. Patty and John are old acting friends of my dad. When I was a kid in Los Angeles, we would visit them at there house. These were special visits. John was, and still is, a puppet maker and puppeteer. Some of my ...

... my tongue to try to stay awake. Dinner was at a local sushi joint that had great rolls. We spent the rest of the weekend watching several episodes of Dexter while Tommy upgraded my computer for this trip. Tyler was acting crazy as usual just running around.

Packing for a one-month trip overseas in generally one climate came quite easy after having to utilize the same packing gear for a trip 6x as long and with many varied climates earlier this year. With my 70-liter pack and a daypack fully loaded, and with two suitcases full of food, clothing and the like requested by my friends at ACA in India in tow, I was ready to head off to Bangalore via London!

... When I asked the agent about this, she reviewed the booking and wasn't sure why it didn't have me going all the way to Dallas. But she said it didn't matter anyway because the the flight to Chicago was fully booked! Fortunately, she took pity on me and said if I was able to hurry to the 6:30 Miami flight, I could get on ...

... stage left watching and trying to grasp big picture when Brian invited me to help. I'll likely show up at the Paramount Tues a.m. for load-in and repeat so it sinks in. The crew overall is cracking me up as they try to get their share of female attention from the few girls on the tour. ;) So, I'm working on accepting that there is simply another plan for my life and I need to continually embrace the changes, and thus embrace my future.

American Airlines nearly ruins my trip....my original flight which was supposed to leave at 10:10am never leaves the ground....at 11:45am...AA has another flight bound for Tokyo and because I have carry-on luggage only, I'm allowed to board the flight and make it to Tokyo with 40 minutes to change planes and airlines ( Japan Air, they rock!!) . American Airlines...never again you *******s.

In Dallas we found our connecting gate and grabbed some food. It is a good thing we did as
