Visited with Mum today and showed her where I would be going. Had a Spain & Portugal map so she could see all of the areas. Have my suitcase packed and am ready to jet out of here. Just watching hail & rain coming down & will be happy to leave. Til later,.....tata for now

So the count down begins. What to take, what to wear, how to stay cool in 30 degree heat. I'm getting excited but still thinking about the long flights. Kindle & some juicy reading; IPod touch & games; conversation with Elaine should help pass the time. Oh yeah....probably should sleep a bit. Ta ta for now.
