I started this special day with my usual preparations. I especially wore the same dress that Bren had first seen me in in Seattle, together with the yellow jacket that it seems that everyone in the TG Forum thinks looks good with it on me.
My friend Francesca came over to pick me up at 3:00 p.m., and we drove to the airport. She dropped me off there, and I went to the gate indicated for her flight. There were many people there waiting to board the continuation of that flight. The plane arrived a little late, and I walked over to where I could see the passengers come off. Shortly after, I saw Bren, dressed in a black top and skirt with a red sweater. I then greeted her, and gave her two hugs: one from the many people in the TG Forum chat room who had asked me to do it for them, and one from me.
We went to claim her three bags, and retrieved them from one of the carousels, getting there after the other bags had been claimed since the flight designation had never appeared on the sign there. We then went to the curb, and met Fran for the ride to Bren's motel, with me busily giving directions.
When we got to the motel, Bren unpacked, and showed us many of her outfits. We spent a lot of time taking pictures of each other, with Fran doing the hairstyling and me ready to download the digital images from the camera into my computer. Bren had always been happy to have her picture taken, and I was pleased to see that Fran was having a good time being photographed as well. Unfortunately my modem couldn't get dial tone from the telephone line in the room, so we were unable to either upload any of the pictures then. We also couldn't get online as I had hoped in the TG Forum chat room, where both Fran and I had first met Bren initially.
Below are shots of Fran and Bren together, of me alone, and one from the margin of another picture showing me reflected in a mirror, standing beside my computer on the table.

I had given myself the role of the organizer of the vist, and was feeling some anxiety that everything go right. Late in the evening had to remind everyone that we hadn't eaten yet, and that the restaurants would be closing soon for the night. When we reached the downtown area, the one that I had chosen had indeed closed, but we were the only patrons at another one nearby, where we shared the different Chinese dishes that we had ordered.
We then drove back to Bren's motel, and saw her into her room. Fran would be working most of the next day, so we made arrangements to call her and decide on a place to meet later in the evening. Fran then dropped me off at my home nearby, and naturally I got into the TG Forum chat room for a while to tell of our adventures. Fran joined us there after she had gotten home. I then sleepily tried to turn on the ringer of the telephone by my bed, which I normally keep off, but actually ended up turning it off instead.
