Well, we're off (once again!) to try and get our daughter at the Knoxville airport this morning.
Bill also has an appointment in Chattanooga this afternoon to apply for his new TWIC card, the "Transportation Worker's Identification Card," yet another document to prove who he is, pay for, and carry, along with his passport, Z-Card, and Merchant Mariner's license. This one has to be applied for and picked up (6-8 weeks later) in person, at a designated facility. Our choices were Huntington, WV, Nashville or Chattanooga. Homeland Security is all about the inconvenient, that's for sure. Bill likens it to traveling to Bethlehem for Herod's Census.
We decided to combine the trips today, since Knoxville is almost halfway to Chattanooga. So we're packing up dog and Alex too, and will make it a family trip, hopefully stopping at The Lost Sea (www.thelostsea.com) on the way home.
A full day ahead, and it's just started. (But maybe this time, we'll be able to collect our daughter).
