Today is packing day and emptying out the fridge day and so many other little fiddly things day. It's very clear and cold and while Ms. Packratty had a very busy day Saturday, there is laundry and a mite more shopping to do before her last day at work pre-trip. It's daunting - after 2 years of saving, after 9 months of planning and paying for things bit by bit, the day is nearly here. Tuesday, Ms. Packratty will drop off Charlie to hang out with the pack at Mar's house, make sure Delilah Fuzzybutt has food, water and plentiful litter boxes, lock the doors behind her, hoist the baggage into the car and head for the airport on the train. The next morning, she will be in Rome.
For the moment, Ms. Packratty needs to decide what to wear on the plane - comfort and warmth are paramount because the temperature should be around freezing when the plane lands and she will have a longish walk dragging her baggage, although with cash in hand, it may prove brighter to cab to the bank and then walk to the apartment. And remembering to pack at least one full days clothing change in her carryon, just to be safe. Travel insurance card arrived Saturday, so I need to move all the documents I am taking in a small billfold so that most of my junk remains home - guessing I am not going to need my Petsmart card or my library card or my Starbucks card in Rome. It's really sinking in now. It's going to happen.
