T minus Zero! We're on our way!

The day we've prepared for is finally here! We've made it through check-in with our mountain of luggage including 14 bins of "stuff" that won't come back to the US with us. And even though some of the bins were oversized and some over-weight, they didn't bat an eye and didn't charge us. PTL! We are all through security and waiting at the Qatar gate for our flight. The in-coming flight from Doha has arrived and our new flight crew has boarded, so it doesn't look like there are any issues about us taking off on time. And we're now being called to board!

We're all safely aboard and ready for takeoff. Time to sign off! Playing for an uneventful flight for the next 12 hours!
