12 days to go and I am chomping at the bit!!

Post by Gromit »

Seriously folks I am dying here.

I've got 12 days and counting until I get to my Happy Place.

Can't focus on work!

I will say this though - I am almost packed. I had to! I literally have ONE night free at home between now and when we leave on the 7th. ONE Night! And I've got three trips stacked up back to back.

So, I'm pretty much packed for STJ, the trip to grandmas tomorrow night and my graduation from my fellowship at UVA on Dec 5 & 6.

CRAZY!! After all of that I am going to NEED a vacation.

All I can say is thank god for the checklist. Otherwise I know I'd be leaving stuff out that I need to take. Now I just have to make sure that it's all under weight!

Anyone else packed nearly two weeks in advance?

I'm not unpacked either.

And I did pack in advance, because I just put all my summer clothes in my suitcase when I was done with them. All I packed the day of departure was my hairbrush and toothbrush!

Well, I packed for my trip in Nov that was canceled and since I'm hoping to return in May, I never unpacked the bag. Technically, I'm packed 6 months in advance. So don't worry!

Not a single thing packed yet but it's all I'm thinking about at this point. It means in 11 days we will again be in paradise!

Been packed for 2 weeks, fine tune is next week! Down to 3 extra pair of shoes and the ones I'm wearing! Hubby is so proud! Checking off the list quickly now, been working on it for a month as we own a business so my checklist is enormous! Getting it together early allows me to get a little bit on island time without stressing out! Check out the ticker!

I am three days out and not packed and I have a ton of things to do tomorrow. I am too mentally tired from the last week to be excited. Hopefully after a good nights sleep that will change as I have to get things into high gear. I know as soon as I get of the plane and the wonderful air hits me, it will be all good. Island Therapy, here I come.
Going "home" again October 26th!
