Won't you take me with you?

Maybe it's transference, but I think Daisy knows we're leaving her for 2 weeks. No worries. My mother in law is house sitting for as and her favorite activity is reading on the couch and petting cats and dogs without having to own one. Daisy's power walks won't be quite as vigorous though. Tomorrow we board a plane traveling to Sydney via Honolulu and Auckland. I'm excited yet dreading the time in a tin can. At least we save about 1800 miles (about 2900 km) by avoiding the lower 48. We hope to avoid the swine flu and quarantine. That would be an unwelcome diversion.
