On your mark....Get set....PACK!

I've started going through my room; getting rid of things, deciding what I want to take with me, etc. It's a long process and it'll take a while before I'm even close to actualy being packed, but that's ok. I've already gotten rid of 10 trashbags full of clothes, linens, old stuffed toys, etc. Abby has made sure that quite a bit of it will be staying in the house though. It will be a little odd to see her wearing my old clothes before I'm gone, but hey- at least they're out of my closet!

It's 3 months from Thursday that I leave. I'm still incredulous of the flight times and things. A ten hour flight from Phoenix to London, a 5 hour layover, and then a 12 hour flight from London to Cape Town...does that sound rather daunting or is it just me? Two days pass! It's a good thing I don't mind air travel. Everything is going to be more than worth it when I get off the plane in CPT and meet Raoul.
