Officially Insane/U.S.A. or Bust!

I think I am officially insane because I have to leave for the airport in about an hour and I'm still not quite done packing and here I am checking my email and blogging. I am even thinking of dashing over to Broadway to pick up some new headphones since my old crappy pair just broke as I was packing.

I won't feel relaxed until I'm on the plane. I only slept for about 3 hours cause I was busy packing, procrastinating from packing, sending last minute emails/notes to work about stuff that needs to get done while I'm away, etc. etc.

So, first stop in the U.S. will be San Francisco, to see Javier (yay!) and hopefully Karen (woo-hoo!)too, even though I just realised this week I don't have her phone # so I've emailed her to get it and hopefully her hotmail won't fail me now!

After San Fran, it's off to Springfield, then Boston, then Richmond Virginia, then back to Springfield, then New York, and back to Springfield again before heading back to Sydney.

This will be the first time I've celebrated my birthday in the Northern Hemisphere in like 6 years - I want a warm birthday!!! :-)

Okay, I really am going back to packing now, for real. So I will have to shut down the computer. :-( I haven't done one of these 14 hour flights in over a year and a half, but as long as I get an aisle seat, I will be a happy gal. I begged my awesome travel agent to get me one and she said to just double check with the airline agent as I check in that I do have an aisle seat. I need to be able to walk around regularly on these flights and I don't mind if people climb over me but I hate climbing over people. My ass really killed me on my last flight to/from the States, so an aisle seat would really help so I can stand up and walk whenever I want.

See ya later, taters! Next stop, San Fran! :-)
