The Countdown is On...REALLY ON!

We leave in four days. FOUR. Are we ready? Mentally, yes, we are BEYOND excited. Are we packed? Well...not exactly. STILL.SO.MUCH.TO.DO!!!! I always do great at the last minute, but I drive myself crazy with that. I would really love to have it all done and just throw our toothbrushes in on Friday and go. Let me have a moment to think about that! Ahhhhh.

Screeeeech! (That's the sound of a record scratching)

Back to reality and the list of things still left to do. Three 1/2 days of work and school. A handful of errands to run. Laundry. And packing. I always over pack. I'm trying not to do that this trip. I'm hoping for one bag each with one extra for all the gifts, candy and flip flops we're taking along. That's a total of 3 check-in bags, 150 pounds, and whatever we can carry on. Oh, if I could only be Jeannie or Samantha and we would just be there with everything we need!



Oh, one more thing. We are leaving on April 10th, returning on May 2nd. Somewhere in the middle of that is a little thing dreaded by every adult American...April 15th. For the absolute love of everything red, white and blue, I have to file my taxes before I leave! (Please refer to paragraph one where I said I always do great at the last minute. I do so well at it because I've been doing it for 50-something years.) Calgon, take me away!


Praying for pre-travel mercies for sure!
