The countdown continues and I finally have all my travel arrangements finalized: 5 DAYS!!! Thanks to all who attended my going away party Sunday night at PCL to say bye and send me off with some of the best memories I've had here! We had a record crowd, and I feel privileged to have met you all! I look forward to more nights at Time Out and PCL upon my return from Europe. Keep checking back for pictures from the evening. Also, a HUGE thanks to Jessica, Br...

So I have finally started packing up my apartment. Only 3 more shifts left at Pappadeaux after tonight. Leaving for Kansas City in 9 days, and for London in 12 days, kinda crazy. I havent packed for Europe yet because it's still hard to believe I am actually leaving. I think I'm in denial about how much stuff there is to pack and do before I leave. At least I have 5 days after I stop working to get life together. Yikes!!!
