Almost Time

Well it's just under a week until I take off to Vancouver and I can't wait!! I was checking the forecast this morning and the day I arrive it is supposed to be sunny and 25 :) which is a far lot better than the current 9 degrees in Bendigo!!
So far I have managed to contain my excitement except for the few poor souls who have had regular "hours to go" updates for the last 6 months (sorry guys), but this weekend is the big pack and panic YAY!! It always seems like you have so much to do until you pack and you realize that was 90% of the stress. It's funny really how everyone rates packing at a different importance level. I am a serious packer I do the packing list and the big laundry wash the day before and then set everything out and well you get the picture. See I though this is how everyone packed but it's not!! I couldn't believe it last week when Thumper said that she packed the same day she went to New Zealand!! I would have a brain hemorrhage trying to organize that, then on the other extreme my travel agent said she had a friend heading off in a couple of weeks and she has been packed since April!! Well to each there own I guess but I think I will stick with my method for the time being as it has served me well so far. Although last time I learnt not to pack so much. Before I left last time my bag was bulging so I ended up having to buy another huge bag just to bring everything I brought home!!

Oh yeah that reminds me 154 hours left!!
