I honestly tried. I really did. I'm done now, at 10:00pm my time, but I really really tried to be done packing yesterday so that I could have a day to relax/nap/visit etc. It all went well, it wasn't really stressful, just very busy. I do feel very prepared, which is something. I'm taking 2 big bags and 3 smaller bags, and two of Tania's big bags, so I will definitely look like a diva. I did take a cue from my friend Roane who has done this trip many times--I packed my pillow and a down quilt. Seems a bit luxurious, but I'm ok with that. Speaking of luxurious, I did manage to find the perfect--and I don't say that lightly-pair of shoes--Teva Suntori's. I love these shoes. On another shout-out note, two of my friends who are graduating UCSB students, Jared & Cecilia, stopped by today to give me a gift--a really cool digital photo frame. I'm looking forward to putting my travel pics on it when I get back and having those just scroll through in my office.
Pause. Breathe. Envision.
I'm looking forward to being on the ocean, and gazing at the curve of the world--that is a strong thread that is pulling me forward. Santa Barbara to San Diego tomorrow, only 1000 zips away! My zipcode is 93101 and the berth at San Diego is 92101.
