| October 9th. This was a travel day, departing from Minneapolis-St. Paul International in the Twin Cities, stopping in Newark, New Jersey, and then landing in Berlin, Germany. | |

I get a lot of email. I get a lot of email and even more spam, and I was not going to have access to my email during this trip. I mulled it over, and it just wasn't worth the security risks of using untrusted computers to enter my login credentials. Too many public internet terminals are crawling with spyware/viruses. So, here are some [somewhat blurry] pictures of my inbox and spam mailboxes before I left that morning. I don't want to even think about the mess I'll return to. |

| Here's Tracy and Rob getting their packs situated before checkin in at MSP. They both had backpacks with detachable day packs, while I had my big green monstrosity-of-a-bag that I took on our first trip to Europe. |

I enjoy flying, and I really like it when I have a good view out of a window. But, as usual, I got a wing seat for this flight. This is my typical luck. |

| Here's Wisconsin at about 11,000 feet - the captain had just given his speech about "approved electronic devices." |

Mmmm, New Jersey. The weather was overcast and crappy, only adding to my less-than-pleasing impression of the "Garden State." Grey, dirty, and depressing. I'd like to see Jersey on a good day, just to compare. The top photo is looking out of the plane while taxiing to the terminal, and the second photo is a shot of the Skytrain from the terminal. |
