This weekend I will be out of town again. Some people can just throw a few items into a suitcase and be on their merry way. I am not one of them.
First, I want to clean my entire house and make it perfect. Then the garage probably should be fluffed up too. The car has to be cleaned out and washed. All laundry has to be up to date. All of this is before I even consider packing.
Just deciding on which shoes to take will cause insomnia, and I already suffer from that. Due to the issues with my feet, I can't just run off with a pair of gym shoes and something dressier and go. Which clothes to take? What will the weather be like? I can spend hours deciding over which handbag to take. Maybe Prada is wrong for Manitoba.
Yes, Manitoba. May I suggest that you never tell someone that you will go wherever his next business trip happens to be. I have had a bad case of needing to travel and spoke without a thought. It will be fun, I am sure. Certainly the streets must be paved and I can do my daily long walks. I might need a coat and boots, but I am tough, ay? I already speak Canadian since my foray to Toronto. Maybe I will see a moose.
My best friend just talked me out of buying a Louis Vuitton suitcase. In doing my dance, I thought maybe I needed a new suitcase. Suitcases come in good stuff and disposable stuff, and mine is disposable and should be replaced. It should have been replaced a few trips ago. Maybe it just has character.
Hopefully my next trip will be a return to Toronto. I still regret not getting up that CN Tower with the glass floor for the rush I know I missed last time. I can start worrying now about driving over that bridge again. Sorry, I have to go work on some new steps for my Freak Dance. Have I mentioned how driving to airports gives me the jeebies?

We are kindred spirits. We are leaving in---gulp--eight days for a ten day trip to Florida. I am freaking out because I ant the house cleaned before we go--and I have the dislocated shoulder on one side and the cracked collarbone on the other. I need to come home to a clean house!
Close the curtains, Suz. Dance all you want.
I hope you have a good and safe trip!
Love ya,
Connie
Hi,
I hope you have a great trip and get the right suitcase and shoes to travel in. I understand what it means to have the house cleaned up and the laundry done before leaving.
I will wait for your updates on the trip.

Me too.. love to travel, but I obsess about the details of getting there. Hope you have a wonderful & safe trip. *Here's a hint about suitcases: instead of buying an expensive, sharp-looking case, you want the most vulgar suitcase possible. There's 2 advantages to this. First is the really nice ones are more likely to be stolen, so you're safer there. And if it's really ugly looking, your suitcase will immediately stand out amongst the sea of navy, hunter & black bags on the carousel, allowing you to find it much more easily. ¤H
