3 more days to go. . . the list making starts!

It's Monday night as I write this (ready for Tuesday morning) and there's not really much to blog about. Kristen and I haven't been out of the house today! I started making a list of things to pack and got on top of laundry again so I can put clothes to one side that we'll want to take with us. I don't want to wear stuff this week only to have to wash them again near the end of the week to pack! I also got the big suitcase out and have already put Kristen's clothes in it.

Tomorrow (that's today if you're reading this on Tuesday morning) we're off to piano lesson at 10am. Nothing else is on the agenda for the rest of the day. Hmmm, with days like this it will feel like the week is dragging. But I really can't be motivated to do anything else other than pack!

The picture above was taken 3 years ago on my last trip home. I was trying to write Kristen's name in the sand but my sister was taking so long to figure out how to use the camera, the tide start coming in fast and was already wiping out the first letter 'K' :-)

Well as I said, not much to write about tonight so I'm off to bed.

Great pic sweetie, bet you can't wait to be back there with your loved ones once again. Is Kristen also really excited about her trip to England and another country at that? That would be a pretty big deal amongst her friends I'd imagine.

So you have the bags out and the lists happening, so it sounds like you're right on track.

Just a few more sleeps!
Big huggles. xx

Can hear the excitement in that post! I hope you have a fantastic time. Will you get to see Sadie? Hope so! If I don't get back before you leave, have fun and can't wait to see lots of pictures when you get back! Hugs

Won't be long now, D! Will that tropical storm/hurricane weather have any impact on your flying out this week? I hope not!

When we were packing up for vacation I did the same thing - I spent the week of just wearing other clothes (my less fav ones) so I didn't have to do laundry in order to pack.

I'll miss you while you're gone but can't wait to hear all about it & see lots of pics!!

Happy packing!
Love ya xo
