As I posted the other day, I’m going to Europe in a few weeks, and I have a ton of crap to get done before then. If this trip is like, oh, any other trip I’ve taken in my life, EVER, I’ll get all of it done at 3 am the day we leave on a 7 pm flight, by which point I’ll get just enough sleep to feel thoroughly exhausted before I even begin my travels.
But this time, things will be different! This time I’ll be organized. This time I won’t be scrambling for the last few days before I leave, trying vainly to get everything out of the way before I go.
Ha.
Anyway, to that end, I’m posting my to-do list here, and checking it off in a public fashion. I hope that will keep me accountable, or something. So, without further ado, I introduce to you… *trumpet fanfare*…
Things to get done before France:
Set up cat-sitting
Make Dr’s appointment for scrip
Get meds
Shop for clothing:
- two more quick-dry tops (one in ivory or cream, one in green?)
- two pairs travel pants WITH POCKETS (one black, one brown)
- comfortable walking shoes that aren’t too fugly
- warm hat
Buy travel jewelry bag?
Choose guide books and phrase books
Practice French
Find reading material for plane
Check CQ(OL)ZBOS* and top off any liquids
Sell all that stuff on Craigslist I was supposed to deal with in November
As I check items off this list, I will post it here.
Watch my progress! Thrill to the Anticipation — Succumb to the CHILLING Suspense — WILL I MAKE IT to THE AIRPORT ON TIME?!?!?!111!?
