EEEEK!!! I just KNOW I won't be able to sleep AT ALL tonight!! I've been checking items and tasks off my (multiple, bulleted) lists all day, and my bathroom scale is getting a workout--so far, even with all my clothes, bottles, electronics, books (Z is going with me!), etc., I'm under the weight limit (whew!). Kitties have been deposited at their grandparents' house, mail and ferns and yard have their caretakers, and my bestie will be delivering me and my weight-compliant luggage to the school parking lot! Have plastic and passport, will travel!
Can't decide what, exactly, I'm looking forward to most. Tonight was book club night, and one of my dear ladies hugged me good-bye and with her bon voyage wishes, told me that we were doing a good thing, showing the world to our kids. She knows that opening up the globe by traveling with these students will make them be life-long, fearless travelers--and, as she is about so many things, she is right. I think, then, what I'm looking forward to most is watching the kids realize what all the fuss is about. They don't know it yet, but tomorrow begins their careers as citizens of the world.
So, as I lay me down to sleep, I'll be dreaming of crèpes, gelato, and teenage smiles. :-) Can't wait!!
