First Day

   It only takes one nano second after midnight to slip from one day to the next, one decade to the next and one year to the next. It's New Year's Day 2011 and we are blessed with rain. Gone is the snow after a day of unusually warm temperatures (9C/49F). And on this rainy day we are preparing for a trip to attend my nieces wedding in the Riviera Maya. Our flight leaves at 6 a.m.  We'll be gone till next Sunday. Some of you now understand why I feel a bit of anxiety each time I fly with my family. 
   For the first time, hubby's younger brother, wife and three of their five adult kids will be on the plane too. Two are coming from different cities. And there are many others joining the group wedding package. Having not yet met the groom, his family and friends, the first thing we'll do once we have arrived is to have a little get together with everyone. That's so we can at least recognize one another as our paths cross at the various activities in the resort. 
   The weather will warm (26C/78F) and partly cloudy daily for the week and I'm praying ours will be a fun and relaxing trip. If all goes well (no detours,or unscheduled layovers) I hope to be back January 9th. And with " No royals to bail me out if things go bad", I bought travel insurance just in case of turbulence. 

Thanks for all your good wishes and the very generous support. It is a New Year!!!

    Travel insurance is always a good investment when traveling this time of year.
