One week to go! My luggage left yesterday...at least most of it...thank heavens. I thought I'd never decide on what to put into those suitcases! But whatever is in there now is what I will live with for the trip. I tell myself that it's not like I'm going to the moon...I should be able to buy en route almost anything I've forgotten to pack.

Happy New Year to all...

Less than a month to departure. I'm still trying to decide what to pack plus collecting all the little miscellaneous stuff that has to go along. I'm alternating between being excited and a little nervous about going on such a long trip.
