Lunch at LAX? Sure!

Yuna has been great to communicate with.  We've, in short time, exchanged many emails and had a few telephone conversations.

I was originally under the impression that I would be responsible for getting her to LAX.  I was relieved to learn that they would arrange that piece and cover the cost.

What we know for certain:
Naysia will leave Tucson the evening of July 2.
The group will leave LAX just after midnight.

Where it got tricky is that the returning flight returns to LAX at noon.  The flight to Tucson to depart at 2pm.  Yuna was concerned that Naysia would miss her connecting flight.  She suggested one of 2 things.  Either Naysia could depart LAX at 7pm to fly into Tucson or fly into Phoenix, departing at 4pm, arriving about 5:30pm.  We decided on the latter option.

What we know for certain:
I will fly out of Tucson with Naysia and be there with her until she leaves for Seoul.  I will, a few hours later, leave for Chicago.  Lord knows I'm going to need a distraction.

Where is gets tricky is that when she comes back she wants me to meet her in LA to fly back home with her.  I haven't purchased that ticket yet, but right now it looks like I'll arrive in LA on July 21st at about 11:30am.  Just in time for lunch.  Greet Naysia at 2pm and hop on a plane to Phoenix at 4pm.

So, what's next for us?  The upcoming event is an award and scholarship ceremony and dinner that will take place June 8th in Los Angeles at KECLA.  It will be a turn around trip for us.  Hopefully my brother Loren will come with.  I'm looking forward to meeting and thanking Jai, Yuna and all persons involved in making Naysia's dream a reality.  Most importantly I will be cheering my girl on.  We are basking in this moment, what a great life.
