My mind is far too busy to form complete and articulate thoughts. I feel as though our trip is sneaking up on us -- there is still so much planning to do! We are keeping our itinerary bare, but there are still so many decisions we need to make and things we need to book. Scotland needs to be booked in full before we go. I need to have a chat with Lynnagin about Australia (or many chats rather). I have a couple friends who have traveled around South East Asia that I am hoping to meet up with. I have to make an appointment at the travel clinic to see if we need any vaccinations. We need to decide what to pack and what we still need to buy (which seems like so many things).

We are leaving in 10 weeks.

My dear friend, Milena, is due in 8 weeks so I am essentially a write off after that. I plan on spending as much time as possible with her and that little baby.

My family is taking a trip to Mexico in 6.5 weeks so I really only have 6.5 weeks to finish up our planning and most of our decision making. Oh boy.
