pre-travel jitter

[jaeclectic]

The place is a mess, mostly clutter and dust which I habitually ignore, but for some reason I'm having a fit of unusual wanna-be-tidiness (partly my typical aversion to knowing I'll be coming home to chaos, but a little more than usual). Well, it's a self-inflicted injury, I could have spent the whole day yesterday cleaning, and chose otherwise.

Meanwhile, despite having plenty of time, I am twitchy and wondering what I'm forgetting. I'm about 90% packed (or should I say over-packed) and semi-regretting having planned to take BART to the airport. It's the part about walking 1/2 mile+ with the ginormous suitcase, you know? 'cause despite being fairly well-travelled I have yet to master the art of packing light. I guess I should think of it as part of my training regimen :)

Also, slight intimations of resurgent sinus foo. Which I would like to deny, but should pack vitamins & tea & decongestants, just in case.

Ah well, it will be fun once I get there. Onward...

Hee. I hear you on the art of packing lite. The thing I always have to remind myself is that they have stores in {insert destination here} too. otherwise I wind up trying to pack for every eventuality, because you know, it might rain or I might be struck by the sudden urge to go swimming or ...

hugs. have a fabulous time, I'll want a detailed report upon your return. :)

Which airport? When? Do you need a ride?

Oh, what a kind thought. Just Oakland airport, in the middle of the afternoon, so really the only hard part was wheeling my suitcases to the BART station.

Anyway, I'm in Portland now and realizing that I must go in search of a map, not having managed to procure one in advance...
