The morning of

Well, all bags are packed, I'm ready to go...what's that song in my head?  It's about 7:00 a.m. and I'm all set for my big trip!  I slept great, my cold is much better, and everything here is ready.  What else can I say?  I'm acting like I'll be gone 3 months, but it's only 3 weeks.  I'll miss Tim for sure, and my friends, but some of them I might not see in 3 weeks anyway.  ;-)

My sister and a good friend are taking me to the airport with lunch on the way.  That should be fun.  I've weighed and measured my bags and they are all within limits.  I had room for almost everything family wanted me to take, as well an additional pair of shoes for me.  What else could I ask for?  Save travel, but that's the norm.

Next time I write I'll be in the Middle East!
