Getting ready to sail away....

Anticipation is sweet, and although there are still two weeks before I set out for new adventures, my mind is filled with the mundane details of preparation -- stop the newspaper delivery,  get a vacation hold for the mailman, catch up on the bills, have a friend adopt the houseplants.  Instead of concentrating on work, my mind wanders off wondering whether I have too much luggage, enough books, insect repellent, Band-Aids? Where are the power adaptor plugs?  Don't forget the camera. How disheartening to know I will have nothing interesting to say until I shove off on 20 August 2013.  Stay tuned!
