At the airport, thanks to Leanne 🙂

in a few minutes they will start the boarding. Next stop Toronto, not sure if they free wifi, but here’s hoping! From there, it’s London, with a touchdown in Reykjavik.

Good thing I don’t mind flying…

and then there was 12…. hours left!

ahhhhhhhhh! welcome to SPC – Slight Panic Central.
It’s not that I don’t have most things done; it’s that I am a list-maker, not a list-checking-off-er. So I’ve completed TONS of things (as my iPhone Reminders assure me), but I keep thinking of other things to add.

must.stop.adding.  (note to self: add “must.stop.adding” to my list of things to do…)

i DID get mostly-packed this afternoon, and went on a trial packing walk up to Sheena’s. Approx weight: 20lbs, minus a few more toiletries.

well, no more time to waste if i want to hit the sack in an hour. Left on the lists:

– charge electronics

– pack toiletries

– find SD card(s) for camera

– stop adding things to lists

– sleep

Well, those lists ain’t doin’ themselves (sadly…)  I’ll post tmrw from the airport (hopefully!)

T minus 5d, 15h…

… and I’ll be on my way to Europe!  This is my Happy-Birthday-to-me present for my big birthday 🙂  Go big or go home!

Being a procrastinating / list person, I still have tons of things left to do, but instead I’m trying to figure out wordpress, so that my plethora of readers (easily numbered in the tens of thousands hundreds tens ones) are in the loop!

I was hoping to do a trial pack & walk today, but due to the list (see above), a slightly sore back, and the sunshine, it didn’t happen. But I figure I have 25 days of practice coming up, and I wouldn’t want to take anything away from THAT experience.

So, the itinerary will be as follows:

London / Manchester / Dublin / Edinburgh  (which I’m told is pronounced Edinburah) / Dubrovnik / Paris / Reykjavic

and now, my lists await! More to come…
