We were up at 4am in preparation to leave by 5 to get to the airport by 6:30am. Yes--it was early-but we were all excited! Last minute items were put in the suitcases. Siblings were woken up and we were off to the airport. We all went and the van ride to the airport was silent. We parked in short term parking and made our way to the check-in counter. The bags were weighed--and checked in. We then went on to the TSA check point and to our good-byes. Let's just say we said our good-byes and she was off to board the plane. She made it to Mexico City at 3:24 pm Mexico time! (I watched her plane with the on-line tracker). By 7:30 she emailed home--she sounds so happy! Here's her email:
