The night before
Thu Aug 16 2007

I shouldn't be writing this. I need to finish the wash, make up the bed in the spare bedroom for the kitty-sitter, finish packing, and get to bed so I can get to work early tomorrow and put in a token hour.

This time tomorrow I'll be on a plane to Holland. The Prof and I will meet up with an internet friend there and head south in a rental car towards the Mediterranean. I am coming to hate the stress connected with big trips and flying and leaving the cats. I really hate the night before a trip. Would that I weren't so successful a procrastinator.

    Oh! Have a wonderful time! I hope your trip is at least as much fun as ours was. You're certainly due for a break.

    Yes, there's a lot of hassle beforehand, but it's worth it. Just keep telling yourself that.

    Travel tends to be hard on me, too. In the end I'm always glad I went, so I guess it's worth the stress. Happy travels!

    I don't know if you'll get this before you leave, but I hope you guys have a great visit with your friend. Hopefully, the good time you have will make up for the stress of preparing for the trip.

    Holland?! What’s Holland got that Texas doesn’t?

    Just history, a free and easy lifestyle, European culture, moderate weather, sightseeing….

    Never mind. ;o)

    The people are better here, though. :o)~
