We leave tomorrow! Or at least the tentative plan is for Mo mere and I to leave for Chicago on the flip side, early afternoonish. That way there will be a little down time before flight take-off. Possibly explore more of the little known gems in the city. Mom is always talking about all sorts of random places she recalls from previous excursions... Either way it will be an adventure and one to remember!
My mind is still traveling wildly in all directions. I've been a busy bee today making lots of phone calls, visits, last-minute trips to various places for forgotten items. Tomorrow, there may be another mad dash! Scratch may! There will be, knowing me!
I say that there will be another (or several) trips to where ever it is I might need to go, but surprisingly I have made progress in acquiring and finding most of what I need...at least I think I have...Inevitably there will be some things left and more unfortunately, things forgotten. Alas, that is how it goes, no? That and trying to decide what's essential and what's not. That is the hardest part and packing things just so. The trick will be leaving extra space for stowaways in between countries and come the end of the trip :)
On a similar note, packing is such a bore!!!! It's one of those things you're excited for, but when you get down to it, it feels like a chore, so you skirt around doing it for as long as possible. I'm still not entirely done.
No surprise there...I've found lots of other little things with which to occupy my time: recharging and updating the iPod, taking ridiculous pictures of the mess that has become my room, rereading favorite parts in old books, email, googling random places and things.You know, doing all the things that have nothing to do with packing, but yet are seemingly much more important. :) I know! It's doesn't make sense, but it gives a little insight to how easily I can be distracted....or amused.
There will be more to come for sure!!
