Time to Go!

OK, so I am packed... mostly! I completed the fastest shopping trip known to man today*. Perhaps I should have called the Guinness Book of Records. I am sure that there must be an entry waiting for my name!

So remember how I was planning on trying to convince Paul he should come along and help me... well he spent the afternoon at the dentist having a tooth reconstructed. It broke in half at dinner last night. So given that the dentist visit involved a large number of needles, I think we need no further proof as to just how much he hates to shop!

Lucky I am an expert!

But really, I have a credit card, well actually more than one, so I can easily pick up any items on the list which I have missed. The only reason I am so relaxed tonight is that I have not cross referenced my packing with the list. Ignorance is indeed bliss! That and maybe the wine I enjoyed with my dinner!

So now I am just waiting for Josie to head over. Josie who finished her packing this morning and is completely organized for our adventure. As I told her, it is lucky I like her so much because sometimes she is a complete teacher's pet!

Actually, I hate to be a complete princess, but I discovered at my going away dinner with my wonderful boys that not only am I flying cattle, but I have to take a cab. I know right! Paul has not arranged me a car service as I was so confident that he would. What is the world coming to?

Let's add that to the list...

1. Economy class airfares
2. Flight leaving at 2.30am - gosh I love airports with a curfew - no uncivilized flights
3. A cab to the airport... and I don't even want to consider what will be picking us up at the other end!
4. 3 Star accommodation which I never knew existed

I wonder how long my list will be by the time I finish this amazing journey.

Thanks to all of my wonderful friends and family who have wished me luck on this journey. Your support has been totally amazing!. 

One friend even suggested that I had to take good care of Josie. Hello! Shouldn't that be the other way around?

In fact a family member of mine asked Josie to keep me in line, but then acknowledge that this was an unrealistic request since it had never been achieved in the past! Who are these people??

And by the way... now I am excited!

Let the amazing journey begin!!

* Helpful Paul has just pointed out that this was the fastest shopping trip known to WOMAN. He claims a man would have done it faster BUT I wonder if it would have been with such style, good humor and effectiveness!
