Enough Underwear

Hello my fabulous peeps! Well, good news: I packed just enough underwear! What are the odds of that happening? (For those of you who don't know, my great preparation for this trip was to pack 30+ pairs of underwear and 30+ pairs of socks and at the end of each day just throw them away and start with fresh ones - saves on washing and toting around). It's incredible, because there is exactly enough of both. I'm just wearing my sandals on the plane, but I have pair of socks for if my feet get cold and the last pair of underwear to put on after my final shower in Europe tomorrow night!

I didn't do a ton today since I was still tired from yesterday. That and me and Ingrid stayed up till after midnight watching Saving Private Ryan in the courtroom. And I can't help but wake up around 8:00 because everyone is moving around. So, just lazing about today, I finished my gigantic book that I brought with and have been reading off and on, unpacked my entire bag and slowly repacked it, taking careful inventory and throwing away everything that does not have to come back, and then took a short stroll later to get an early supper at a little cafe that I like (I took a nap in there somewhere too, but I'm still feeling tired).

It's hard to believe that tomorrow is my last full day in Europe. I don't really have any great plans. It's been great to just relax today, so I might do that tomorrow too and save on the nerves. I've already got the "Travel Sickness." It's just the nervousness about travelling I always get. I'm afraid I'm probably always going to have it. I know that it should go fairly smoothly, but I'm still getting to the airport exceptionally early Friday to make absolutely positive I make it through Check-In and Security and to my gate without any problems. Despite the normal nerves, I am pretty excited to break the Time-Travel barrier coming home. My flight leaves at 1:00pm here and I arrive at 3:30pm at home (same day) after being in a plane for 9 hours.

This has been a truly remarkable trip and even the bad and tough times have been worth it! I would not trade a second of this. I can't wait to see you all! Love from London!

  1. Yay, yay, YAY! Glad you had a nice relaxing day!
    I'd want to get to the airport early, too. Helps settle the nerves a bit when you're not quite sure how long it's going to take.

    I hope you get out and enjoy just a bit of your last day. Wow...LAST day!

    As always, stay safe and lots of love coming your way!
    Smooch!

  2. Shouldn't that be "Enough Knickers"? :-)
