Going to America today

At last starting my journey to meet our little granddaughter Kyla. I'm leaving today, Monday, at 5pm and arriving in San Francisco Monday at 9:00am - just in time for the start of a new business week. I'll keep my fingers crossed for good weather so I can get a tennis game in on Tuesday. Then on Wednesday, I'll fly to Carlsbad to hold Kyla for the first time, and enjoy her (and of course Gina and David) for the rest of the week, as well as to help where I can. I'll also see Steve and Valerie and be able to attend their engagement party on Saturday, and to meet Valerie's children Jacob and Kalia - to be our next grandchildren in August. Whow, what a week. I'll return to Los Altos Sunday night, and depending upon the sun (to play tennis) or rain (not to play tennis) return to Tokyo on February 28 or March 1 and reunite with Bill. It's a great life!
