Yikes....in 4 hours I'm supposed to get up and head to the airport....nothing like a 630am flight to start your journey.  I've set two clocks....have all my clothes out....passport and e-tickets checked 400 times.

Head to Dallas...then to JFK then to Rome.  I don't fly with hub so he heads a different route.  If all goes well...we will arrive about 30 minutes apart. 

I can hardly believe THE DAY is here to leave....my animals are all acting weird.  They seem to have "suitcase" anxiety....they see suitcases....they know something is going to happen.  Fancypants, my little exotic fur ball, threw up for the first time I can remember right next to my carry-on.  I take that as symbolic gesture of her appraisal of my leaving.  Ozzie, the wonder dog, is pacing....his lips are red because he's over-licking them because of worry.  My Wildcat stop eating yesterday....and my boys look like they are counting down the minutes will exit.

Bringing Ipad....and a connector between camera and Ipad...so maybe I'll get to blog some pictures as we travel about.

Wish me luck.
