Special Forces join for my big send off..

Skip and I just visited Alaska, and who did I run into on my way out of Seattle? None other....

Friends and family saw me off at Sea-Tac, Indianapolis, and DC. - 3 May 2010

Becky, Alaska Airlines Flight Crew Assistant and sister, was with me at Sea Tac and watched me depart for Camp Atterbury, IN.

Medic, escort, driver and number one great person stayed with me throughout my entire check out process in IN., Cory Hasik, and sent me off to Dulles, DC.

OH my Gosh, who said I was picking up one sea bag in Camp Atterbury? I ended up with three!

Neal Zimmerman, my "Stan's man" met me in DC and showed me around Leesburg, his home, and took me on a leisurely drive to Harper's Ferry for ice cream, which is down the street from where I graduated from college.

Dave, "Homeland Security" big top dog, collected me from Neal and walked me through security on to my gate. He also scanned my flight team to ensure my safety, onward to Kuwait City.

Nothing but "star" treatment for my long awaited departure.

Hey, when you are in DC, who do you expect to see? None other...
