Answer the question about text:

In the last few years I ' ve gone on vacations , but I ' ve always had one of my boys with me . Originally they were going to fly a camera crew to California over the weekend and do all of the preliminary video stuff and I would fly to NYC on Monday . Instead they decided it was more cost effective to just fly me down a day early . This was my preference , anyway .

Why were they flying the camera crew in early ?
They wanted to get early stuff out of the way .
