On I-45 at 6:30 am headed to Passport City

(Charlene) Randy took this on our way into town this morning. Foggy and the space you see is the largest one we saw between our bumper and the one ahead of us. Randy said, "Traffic. It's not like this on US280 in Birmingham."

It was a stressful day but by 1:45pm Randy had his spankin' new passport in his hand and we were headed back to the airport. I dropped him off a bit after 2 and he was inside the gate for his Paris departure by the time I left the airport property. I am so thankful that it happened in Houston where you can actually get a passport in a day.

A word to the wise--don't head to Europe, Asia or even Belize with a day less than 6 months left on your passport when you plan to travel. They won't let you in. Some cruise lines won't even let you board either. Every country has different rules but I say Renew those passports early!

Allison has gotten some texts from Mark and they had a full day touring and around Tel Aviv today but they are sleeping now. They know that Randy plans to join them tomorrow.
