Traveling in Style

Ohhhhh yeah!

I just boarded the Michigan Flyer bus, a shuttle service running from East Lansing to the Detroit airport. Somehow, they’ve managed to offer free wireless internet on a moving bus. I think it must be a satellite uplink or that Verizon data service. Either way, it’s awesome! They also have outlets in every other row to plug your laptop into. It’s $25 each way, and it’s a bit more costly than driving yourself, but I’d much rather sit and veg on my laptop rather than fight Detroit construction and traffic and then pay $8/day for parking. The seats even lean back!

I’m headed to the airport to fly back to Virginia for the weekend. I’ll help get some packing done and spend some quality time with Julie. She took a group of choir students on a field trip to King’s Dominion, so I’m sure she’ll be exhausted today.

A week from Monday we close on the house! I’ll move the air mattress that I’m sleeping on and my suitcases over to the house that day. Then, a week later, I’m flying to Virginia, grabbing a Uhaul, and trucking our junk up to Lansing!
