Whoa - D-Day is here and I'm flying out relatively soon-ish! And it still hasn't quite sunk in yet. Prob will when I either a) puke on the passenger sitting next to me or b) lose my luggage somewhere over an ocean (pick any ocean...any ocean) or c) have to sit and cool my heels at LAX for 5 hours. The itinerary will probably be of no interest to anyone except my family - but this way they know where I am for most of my time away :-) The parade times are optimistic - while I may not be able to see every parade am damn sure gonna try! Am just realising how totally anal I am to have times listed as well LOL although by Memphis I figure I'll just play it by ear and appear where I can when I can - although Elvis is at the top of my list, as is Sun Studio and the National Civil Rights Museum =)
