Does anyone else have that dream where you're supposed to be on a flight in a half hour for a very important/fun/exciting trip, and not only are you not even at the airport yet, but you've completely forgotten to pack? I put it in the same category as the dream where I realize I have a final exam today for a class that I completely forgot to go to all semester. Usually it's a Spanish final. Because I might be able to fudge my way through an English or History final with some good BSing, but there's no way to fake that I have no clue how to work the Spanish subjunctive anymore.
I love to travel, but I always get a little nervous beforehand because I'm convinced I will forget something vital. Truth be told, I usually forget something, but it's usually not something vital, and I can usually buy whatever it is wherever we are. The one time I really triple-checked the suitcase was when we went to India because I had no idea what India would have in the way of, say, Oral-B floss, and whether we would even be anywhere close to a place where I could pick some up.
My mild pre-trip anxiety is exacerbated today because the swim is on Sunday, and given that I was kind of pooped after a 500 this morning, I'm a little nervous. However, I ate some junk food yesterday (office mid-afternoon snack break + BBQ and pie at a friend's house) and I definitely noticed I didn't feel my best this morning. Or last night, for that matter. Motivation to eat healthy on Saturday!
I'm also a little nervous about the yucky weather forecast next week. Fingers crossed that it's just an island thing and while it will probably rain a little every day, it won't deter us from any of our fun plans. Or from getting a tan.
I miss being tan...
Wish us luck!

Tan is a sign of damage - never a good thing. Use your sunblock! (and have fun!)
Kelly, I'm so freaking jealous I can hardly contain myself! Have so much fun, and don't forget to bring your national parks passport!
