Musings Pre-Flight

The week leading up to vacation departures is always very frenetic - there's tons of last-minute tasks to finish up at work - there never fails to have at least 2 to 3 mini-crises appear just as you think you've got things covered.

And then there's the myriad of personal things that need to be taken care of. Laundry, enough pet food to last 2 1/2 weeks for the pet sitter, stopping the mail, calling the credit cards to put travel alerts on your accounts, etc. Lists for this, lists for that. I'm a major list-maker (thanks Daddy) and I even hi-light and color code. And no, I don't really have too much time on my hands....

Anyway, by the time the bags are packed, and you're on the plane, everything literally just fades away into the distance as the plane takes flight and that little tube of steel hurtles you across the sky towards your intended destination, there's nothing like your favorite glass of (insert drink of choice here) in your hand to make you lean back and sigh with excitement and content.
