Buddies

Tomorrow our little girl is off to Tokyo for a week visiting family, checking out Disneyland, and (no doubt) generally being spoiled rotten. She's been bouncing off the walls all day in anticipation of her first plane ride alone (well, not really alone--there will be very nice airline staff making sure she's OK from the time we say goodbye till the moment she meets up with relatives). I know she's going to have a lot of fun in Tokyo, and it'll be pretty peaceful around here for the next week. I might even enjoy the first couple of days...
