On the Road Again

We’re getting ready to travel again. Checking the weather, packing, unpacking, repacking, forgetting something, remembering something. Picturing myself there, picking out a belt, changing my shoes (again). The waiting is the hardest part.

And then there are the documents. The passport, the vaccination card, Global Entry Pass, VeriFLY, STEP, Reservation vouchers, tickets, Priority Pass, credit cards, foreign currency, itinerary, passwords…….

Did I water the plants, remember to take out the trash, leave instructions for the cat, pack everything that I need? How much do I need? Am I going to an uninhabited island? There will be stores, right? But what if it’s cold? What if it’s hot? What if I can’t find…….

I’m going back for a second pass at the packing. I’m double checking the documents. I’m gonna read the travel journals one more time and check my notes. I will have an argument with Brad for sure because I am frustrated and anxious and nervous and not delighted yet. But I will be delighted shortly, once I get everything done!
