Departure!

from Philadelphia 

To Scotland!

The above photo, of the cones, was something I appreciated when I visited Glasgow in 2005.  Apparently each time the cones are taken down, they reappear by the next day.  I believe it represents the attitude of the city, which I could relate to.  I was pleased to bike along the Schuylkill river in Philadelphia recently to see that yeah, Philly's full of smart asses too.

I depart for the UK via USairways flight 728, 9:50pm to arrive at Heathrow at 10am.

There's my ride:

Dear mom & dad, I love the suit case; it rolls like a luxury car...but apparently the built-in warning if it weighs over 50 lbs didn't work. Taking my hoodie out fixed the problem.
