This trip has been a long time in the planning, and fittingly it was a long day today. Between tomorrow and Sunday night I will see four baseball games and make a trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame. On top of that I will be visiting two cities I’ve never seen and getting a strong dose of history.

Leila was kind enough to give up some sleep this morning, and took me to the airport, arriving at about 4:15 AM. Easy flight to Minneapolis, followed by a four hour layover there, and an easy flight to Philadelphia…and here I am.

So, tomorrow the plan is to go into downtown and see Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, then enjoy the Brewers vs the Phillies. Details tomorrow…
