Well, the bags are packed (I hope!) the house is clean, and I just have to round up the four cats and put them in cages to transport them.  The family are ringing me constantly to make sure I have everything…

This is my last entry before I leave the country.  What a week it has been.  Work suddenly became really intense and I was still trying to finish my files yesterday, as well as organise a send off party for my boss…  This has been good, because it has kept my mind off travelling.  Today I got everything organised and now am really excited… Tomorrow I will be on a plane flying out of the country and starting my holiday!  I am pretty nervous about meeting my relatives, and keep wondering if I have learnt enough German to get by, but there is only one way to find out!

I forgot to mention that I absolutely hate flying… minor problem that will be solved with copious amounts of alcohol and the subsequent passing out… heh heh heh…

Well, that is it for now, until I find an internet cafe overseas… stay posted.  The best is yet to come!

Cheers
