On Saturday, Reggie and I will board a Delta flight that takes us through Atlanta on our way to the Newport News/Williamsburg airport. The little Reg-ster has her health certificate from Dr. Dorian – she is now up to 72 pounds and an all-around healthy pup. She has a new carrier that complies with all the airline standards. We’re just sending out hopes that the weather in the Smithfield area stays mild so she can board the plane with me on the way back home. If it drops below 45 degrees Fahrenheit she needs an acclimation certificate, and it is a definite no-go for her on the plane below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Google Weather says the current temperature in Smithfield is approximately 52, but it gets down to 30 over the next several days. The airlines must make a mint from people traveling with large dogs – Delta charges $175 each way to check dogs as luggage.
Over the past few months things have been hectic at work, so I’m looking forward to spending some quality time with the family and just relaxing for a week or so. My Christmas shopping is all wrapped up and the gifts are ready to be delivered. I’m pretty excited about giving some of this year’s gifts and also excited to meet and spend some time with my sis’s boyfriend Greg. Should be a good time. Only a few more days before the journey begins…
