Well, I am at the airport waiting for my flight to Atlanta, where I will connect to Washington DC.  I didn't sleep much last night.  I woke up at 3:30 and couldn't go back to sleep.  I looked through my suitcase one more time and took out more clothes.  Our AMMF guidelines emphasized to travel light.  I ended up with one medium-sized suitcase, one light garment bag, and my small carry-on (by carry-on standards).  My laptop is so small and light that I can carry it in my purse.  Bob and I took Nicholas to daycare and Nathan to school this morning and had time to hit the IHOP for breakfast.  Nathan was OK.  I think we had talked about the trip for so long that he was used to the idea.  He asked last night if he could take a picture of me so he could remember what I look like.  That was sweet and sad at the same time.  Nicholas, who's two, doesn't know what's going on.  Bob asked if I was nervous.  I'm not really nervous.  I've planned for so long, that I'm just ready!  Once I'm in DC, there is a meeting at 3:30 and dinner at 7:00.  I'll finally meet the other fellows.  All for now - Dawn
