Wow! First plane ride is now over. There was a point that I thought that we were going to crash but my Julie was so calm and she held me in a way that I felt no fear.

So we are in Chicago! My Julie is in a room with her teammates, they seem really nice. My Julie keeps talking about wanting to lose weight and while she was talking about it she started to pull everything out of her pack. I try to shout to her; NO you are good, no more mountains. But as I can’t talk she does not hear me. My Julie ended up dropping 3lb. I guess that’s a good thing, she was jumping up and down with excitement when she found out.

 Our last day in Chicago and my Julie kept talking about this food thing called a deep dish pizza. It sounds like it might be really good, I hope I get some.  So sad, I was left in the hotel room and my Julie went and ate the deep dish pizza thing. She liked it so that’s good.

We leave the hotel at 10am to get on our flight to the D.R. as my Julie is calling the first place we are going to. We will be in the air for about 5 hours.

I’m so very, very, very excited to see what kind of adventures we are going to have.
