I Leave Monday

For the past 7.5 months, I have been saying I leave for Germany in January. OR I leave for Germany in four months. OR I leave in six weeks. OR I leave in two weeks. I finally can say I leave Monday. There is no more cardinal reference in front of my timeframe. It is on Monday, less than a week from now.

I am ready to depart. Everything has been purchased and decided. All I have to do is pack. That is for what Sundays are made....

Zwei Wochen (2 Weeks)

It is getting so close. I feel so ready yet, so unprepared. I have worried about almost everything about which I could worry. At this moment, I have none. In five minutes, that could be completely different.

My packing list and itinerary are 99% complete. I just have a few more items on which to decide.

Tomorrow, I hope to complete my shopping.

With 4 Weeks to Go, I Am All Things...

As I woke up this morning I realized that four weeks from now, I will be in Germany…AMAZING! This is making me, all things about this trip.
I am excited! I have never gone on a vacation this long before. I have never left the continent before.
I am scared! Besides my visits to Montréal and day trip to Tijuana, I have never been somewhere where English is not the primary language spoken.
I am worried! I am trying not to read the weather reports about the blizzard that is attacking the Northeast. I cannot have bad weather that delays my flights or interferes with my touring. I do not want to leave my mom…..
I am overwhelmed! I have a laundry list of items to take care of at work and at home and for general and specific preparation for my journey.
I am trying not to annoy everyone around me, with my constant talk of Europe!
As I mentioned earlier, I AM EXCITED!!!!!!!
