Deployment minus one...

Hard to think the journey is finally about to begin. Off to the other side of the world in a day -- and that's only partway there. Trying to sort through everything I can think of needing, yet knowing I will forget something critical regardless of how many lists I make.

The staging area for the trek looks like either a 4 year old decided to pack for me or a small tornado ripped silently through the upstairs bedroom. Trying to determine how much is too much yet not be without potentially sanity saving comforts on the ice.

Very excited, very nervous as the clock ticks by. Is this the right thing? Too late to look back now, right? 26 fun filled hours of air travel awaiting in just over 24 hrs from now--joy. Off to go get some last minute items and then back to the mess.
