Clarke Family Vacation 2003 - 21 days and counting

[collacentaur]

Three weeks from now I will be on an airplane on my way West.

It still seemed like a long way off until this morning. Now it feels like it's right on top of me.

We finally got Jeff's passport renewal application out the other day, and FedEx confirmed it was signed for yesterday.

It occurred to me this morning that it would be a really good idea to burn MP3 CDs of my music collection before I leave, so that I don't have to take original CDs with me - and so I don't have to take so many! One more thing for the list. And only two weekends left to do everything.

Ginny's going nuts at work - she noticed how soon I'm going away, and how long, and she's freaking out about everything. I started weeks ago getting everything in order, and there really isn't that much that she'll need to worry about. And I'll only be gone a little more than a week.

Everybody keeps telling me how much fun I'm going to have, how beautiful it will be, all of this. I am so sick of worrying, preparing, planning... it had better be worth it.

You do all the worrying, preparing, and planning ahead of time so while you're gone, you won't have a care in the world. And, no matter what else happens, not having a care in the world for a week or so should be pretty fun. :-)

Can you even imagine me not having a care in the world?

I think I'd dissolve for lack of structure.

Just be careful that you don't get so caught up in the "I'm working so hard to have an awesome trip" that you end up feeling let down for the trip (kinda like a lot of people end up on Christmas).

And have a good trip :-)
