I think I'm actually ready!

Of my pre-trip "things to do" list, I haven't cut my hair, but other than that I'm all set. I have a small suitcase, with another bag in it just in case I buy wonderful things. Small yet versatile wardrobe. Euros. Camera. Passport. Ticket. In case of emergency phone numbers.

Have consigned Blue to the care of Jen and her parents. Am worried that he'll miss me, but am quite sure he'll have a perfectly fine time without me.

Am of course leaving a stack of things at work to get done when I get back. There Is Always More Work. Oh well, it's not for that long.
