Sun Spot - Missoula, Montana

After seemingly endless grey days, the sun broke through in patches as we banked over Missoula, Montana.

This post made possible by the magic of the Internet, that facilitates blog posts no matter where in the world you are! (Yes, I know it's commonplace, but still amazing, especially to those of us who many moons ago experienced telephone access via a party line, which was interesting, but not quite as fun as the name implies.) 

Today I'm somewhere between San Francisco and Sri Lanka - but my heart's in Montana, with The Best Husband Ever. (Admit it - you just said 'Aawwww!' It's okay - the sap was flowing so strongly you just couldn't help yourself.)

Aerial Bliss - Somewhere Over Montana

Well, obviously, the aerial views have turned into a series which I didn't anticipate. Missoula's had overcast skies for so long, I'd expected to pop up through the cloud layer and view the top of it on our way out of Montana. Instead, I was delighted by glimpses of Montana's mountain ranges, towns, and winding rivers and roadways. So I'm running with that little bliss. (So much bliss that I was barely annoyed at the pseudo-Winglet in my window view; thankfully, my next United leg featured the new-ish Split Scimitar Winglet.)

Heading Out - Missoula International Airport

Heading out for two and a half weeks, on the heels of a fair bit of planning and packing. Saturday was  Denver and Las Vegas; tomorrow, San Francisco and Tokyo; Tuesday, Bangkok and Colombo, Sri Lanka. Just typing that was  a little surreal - I'm SOOOO excited!

You can follow our adventures in Sri Lanka at JourneysWithGod.com ; there's also a link in my blog roll on the right sidebar of this page. 

In the meantime, I've stockpiled enough Montana posts to tide you over for the duration, because it's still going to be winter gorgeous here!
