Day one: New York

We went through security in Portland which proved to be the first adventure ( at least for Len). He went through and was called back because he "beeped". He searched his pockets again and turned up nothing so they pulled him aside and padded him down. Lost in one of Len's many cargo pants pockets was a spare set of reading glasses. That pair made three pairs; "I wanted toake sure you had a pair also,", Len explained. :-)

In NY Kennedy airport now so the trip has begun. We take off for Madrid in an hour and a half.
