Everything fit in the suitcase and back pack, even all the necessary shoes. Actually, it’s simple to travel simply when you’re going by yourself, and not planning much, if any, socializing. However, it wasn’t simple getting through security at Logan. Nothing out of the ordinary, just too many people, too few “checkers”, “guards”, or whatever their PC title is. Now I’m at the Philly airport, or is it a mall? Both, although everyone shopping had to go through security, so they have to be going somewhere by air. Everything you need is here-- minus Borders, which is boarded up. At the moment a Dixieland band is entertaining at the nearby food court. Certainly not silent, but convivial. People are happy. Oh, the band is going by as I type. I’m happy. Need I mention that the only solitude I feel at the moment is what I create within myself?
This morning a friend emailed me, wishing me bon voyage and suggesting that my solitude might be deeper and more satisfying if I don’t email. Very appealing idea. I think I’ll go light on personal communication, but once a day blog away. My friends can read the blog, and as they know, they’ll get some pictures, as well.
Don’t worry if I don’t appear for a good twenty-four hours. It’s not because of the storm; I’m flying away from all of that. But I won’t have wifi access until I reach my cottage near the sea on the Isle of Skye, and it’s going to take me most of tomorrow to get there.
