Rhonda and I got up at 3:00 AM Sunday morning, left for the airport at 4:15
AM with our Reserve Futurity Dog , Eagle Hills Cabernet Sauvignon, got on
the 7:30 AM flight out of the San Francisco airport, got the OK sign from
the flight attendant that the blue box with the dog got loaded, suffered
through a packed flight, non stop to St. Louis, then had to worry that Cab
continued on to Miami, but he finally came up 35 minutes later.  This was
his first flight but he was cool as a cucumber when we greeted him.  Thrifty
Car rental driver got a $20 tip since she helped put on our 2 large
suitcases, with space to bring back goodies!, our two carry ons, one large
wire crate for the hotel room, and the hard side crate for the stall at the
arena.  We had rented a Jeep SUV but after we put the seats down we found it
was not tall enough for the crate so we changed it to a Minivan; I guess we
were at the rental place for 1 hour but finally got everything worked out.
We stopped at some stores to get food for Cab and some goodies for us.
We had stayed at the host hotel Holiday Inn Wentzville the last time we had
the National was here so it was nice to be in a familiar place. They now
include wireless internet access in your rooms and that is how I am sending
this to the list. I use to live in St. Louis but left way back in 1983; we
are going to visit some old haunts on Monday including visiting some family
and friends, and seeing my brother's older renovated home in South St. Louis
that he got a couple of years ago that I have not seen yet. Will not be
going over to the confirmation show site until Tuesday afternoon. So far Cab
is a pleasure to travel with and he appears to be enjoying himself.  I will
be 60 in January and today has worn me out!!!
