Well.....I've done it again.......it's the wee hours of the morning and here I am just finishing up my packing.....nothing like leaving it till the last minute :) It's all good though...don't leave till noon tomorrow so can sleep in a little and then it's off to pick up mom for our drive to the coast where we'll overnight before catching our flight on Wednesday. What a way to celebrate Canada Day - flying right over the entire country from the Pacific to the Atlantic and then some :) We'll have a chance to be reminded just how large Canada is as that part of the flight will take up a lot of the time we have to spend in the air....it's a 10 hour flight in all so by the time we land in Dublin..we'll be ready to get off that plane!! In addition to the long flight...we'll also have a +8 hour time difference so we'll have to adjust our internal clocks to the 'new' time and keep right on going.
There have been some ups and downs in the past couple of days leading up to our departure. The biggest "up" is that mom sold her place today - the subjects are off and all that's left is some paperwork so she'll be able to take off on this trip with a clear mind as relates to all matters having to do with real estate. The "down" is a really big one too and it is that John and Hannah weren't able to board their flight to Dublin today as planned due to the flu :( It's been rampant in their house and it's a really bad bug that leaves it's victim unfit for travel (or for anything in fact). It is a huge disappointment for everyone and although we're still hopeful that something will change in the next day or two....we're also fully prepared for them not being able to be there at all.
Guess I'd better finish up here and get the last couple of items stuffed into my bag....(and I do mean stuffed - I decided to go with the smaller bag so it's a pretty tight fit!) Tomorrow is the start to a new adventure so I'd best get some sleep too :)
Till soon.....

One more week of work and it's holiday time again :) Wahoo!!
We've got our euros, our suitcases are out of storage, the washer and dryer are hard at work and soon we'll be packed and on the road.
Looking forward to sharing the adventures we uncover along the way.....
