I am mostly worried about the flight- I don’t know why- perhaps my D’s stories of puddle jumpers in India ? I probably don’t need my " weapon", I will mostly be in touristy areas, & will be with people from the area.

I am already signed up w Alaska & am probably booking through Delta( also H would only let me fly Boeing) as it is a hub & has more flights. I agree I wouldn’t be able to sleep anyway - so even though I am also not easily organized in the morning ( our family always went car camping which means- keep throwing stuff in the van until it is full. Then you are ready to go- ) I think an early flight will work the best cause she has lots to show me- I haven’t seen her for about 11 years so we have lots to catch up on- I may even extend my flight, I don’t think of Detroit as a tourist town, but it sounds like there is a lot to see .

I have spoken to a lot of people who have gotten more nervous about flying as they got older & I never have flown much- my first time by myself was just a few years ago- while D2 keeps talking about being a flight attendant for Eithad. ( whereas that reminds me of my pubescent reading material- remember the * Coffee, tea, or me?* books? )
