hard to believe that in just two weeks i'll be on my way overseas. again. i've been so busy, it's hard to be excited. i haven't even really had much time to think about it. saturday, though, we met with the travel agent and it finally hit home - i'm going to great britain. by myself. at least for the plane ride part of it. i waver between nervous and fine with it. i suppose as long as i can make my ipod battery last most of the trip, i'll be okay. i figure i'll sleep most of the way as well.
who knew shopping for boots could be so hard? that was today's quest. if i'm going to be hiking around the highlands of scotland in the dead of winter, i'm nuts and i need good boots. and hand warmers. *brr*
typical us, though. mom and i are already planning our next trip, and we haven't even gone on this one! we're back to an idea we had a while ago, though - trekking through either tibet or nepal. one thing i can say, we don't take normal family vacations, but i wouldn't trade them for the world. i love to travel, and the more off the beaten path, the better. it's hard to be adventurous when there's a mcdonalds on every street corner. :)
of course, it woudn't be a real adventure without my mom along. she provides the humor for the trip. :)
other thoughts
as independent as i like to be, i definitely don't like rattling around in a four bedroom house by myself...even with keely for company. even if she's a ferocious teacup yorkie. i guess i'm used to rattling around in smaller accomodations, like a two bedroom apartment.
see, i'd be up at the cabin in idyllwild right now if it weren't for the fact that i wanted to do some shopping today and go swing dancing tomorrow evening. oh, and do some web stuff, too. at least i made some progress on the website i'm trying to finish today. i've lost momentum. i'll be so glad when it's over.
