Funny thing happens when you leave the country....

Funny thing happens when you try to leave the country for two weeks....

EVERYONE CALLS YOU.   They are coming out of the woodwork. And no, they aren't really calling to say have a good time (except for a few), they are calling because for the past two weeks I have been telling them "I leave the country on the 14th." 5th cell phone charge of the day currently....about to turn it off!

On a positive note, my to-do list is looking wonderful and I can actually see my kitchen table because I have gotten so much done in my "rush to get out of the country."  I'm convinced the minute I get on the plane I'm going to pass out. Hopefully I will wake up as we are landing in Tokyo.  12 hours of sleep = piece of cake.  12 hours of sleep on airplane = not as easy but still doable when you are a walking zombie like I am.

After going to 5 different stores, I finally found jujubees for Emma.  Who knew that they were so hard to find?  Seeing as how this was one of the 3 things she asked me to bring her in Singapore, I had to try them. I had high expectations. Well, not a fan.  August 13, 2013: the day Laura met a piece of candy she does not like.

My bags are packed...I'm traveling as lightly as I know how.  




Tomorrow I fly to Bangkok (via Tokyo on the new flight from Denver...please hold off on the jokes about emergency landings and mechanical problems, I have already heard them all). Friday I'm on my own in Bangkok. I'm horrible with directions...got lost for an hour the other day IN DENVER where I have lived for 13 years.  Bangkok is going to be a challenge to say the least.....

I'm going to miss this nugget.
