...so little time.
So you think it would be obvious, but I guess I was looking through tullip coloured glasses (note the dutch connection there). It is a lot of work to move to another country for a year. Who woulda thunk it.
So the packing is seriously underway. And there is this great new invention that is so fun and practical. Vacuum sealed bags! So fun. I fit an incredible amount of clothes, linens and winter coats into a few bags. Heavy giant bricks, but they take up less room. It's only a couple of flights downstairs to my storage unit, but it feels like a hundred when I go up and down them with all my junk. Makes me wonder why I have so much junk. Luckily my renters are renting my place furnished and with a lot of the kitchen stuff too. So that leaves a lot less stuff I have to haul.
I got my ipod touch last week and have been having fun loading it with games, movies and apps for my trip. There are a crazy amount of travel apps. And I am still open to more suggestions.
Everything is starting to settle in. I am leaving in 2 1/2 weeks. EEEK!!! My replacement started at work today. She will be great, but it made me realize how fast these last few weeks have gone. 7 more work days left for me. Still can't believe it. I'm not sure it will hit me until I'm about 2 hours into the flight. I've never been on a flight that long. Crazy.
Anyhoo, I'm getting fitted for my wooden shoes, vacuum packing my lugage and preparing my last meals, turkey dinner...fondu...how to decide? In the final stages of getting a million things done in very little time and praying it goes smoothly.
Tot de volgende keer (till next time)
