I'm Leaving on a Jet Plane

Posted by on in Culture Blogs

This year is a travelling one for me and it begins tomorrow, very early in the morning. My big green bag is packed--including snacks!--and I have a small carry-on and have taken my pocket knife out of my purse.

I'm going to Pantheacon for the first time and that sets off a year of going hither and yon. But first yon.

My friends Ivo and Michael listened to my misgivings about it and encouraged me to send in some class ideas. One was accepted and the planning commenced. Star and I are travelling out together and we'll room with Oriana.

I am so looking forward to meeting friends from social media that I've never seen face-to-face. I am also looking forward to seeing old friends and colleagues that I only see at conferences and festivals. And there may even be some new friends out of the thousands of people who attend this event.

The class they chose is Willful Bane, which some of you have taken. I was able to put together a small box of examples to share. It somehow fits in with all the snacks.

A suitcase full of black clothes and enough socks for a week.  I think I'm ready to fly tomorrow.

See you there?
