Mom got in safely, and we had a relaxing evening. Bruno loves her lap:

Today we fly to Maui! Woo hoo! I am so excited to see my friends there! And of course it will be fun to see all the old places.

Here is the flight info, for those of you playing along at home:
United Airlines #417
Depart Los Angeles 9:00am
Arrive Kahului 11:43am
Direct flight – how exciting!
I’m so glad you and your Mom get to do this adventure! I understand that you’re going to see Jacob – who is one of the coolest people ever. Please tell him ‘hi’ from me, ok?
(I had to heavily edit this to get rid of waaay too many exclamation points.)
Safety and joy to you both!
