One week from today
Dobrou noc!
In one week, I will be well on my way to Prague - Woo hoo!
(It is with very mixed emotions that I say that...........)
I have a whole bunch of little things to get done this weekend - stop at Freddie's and get a couple of things, find a converter, get all the stuff, toiletries, clothes, shoes, and "stuff" together and fit it all into my two bags - my main carry-on and my personal item. I'm sure I will have no trouble getting everything together; it's jsut a matter of doing it.
Then there's all the little stuff like putting new litter in the cat boxes, watering all the plants, updating the list for whoever is going to be checking on the cats, bagging up the dog food, bagging up the vitamins and Chinese herbs, copying all the documents (passport, credit cards, etc.), making an emergency phone number list, printing off mailing labels for the post cards, etc. etc. etc.
Next week, I have to pick up prescriptions, see the acupuncturist, go to the endodontist for this infected abscess tooth in my mouth (I guess that's where a tooth would be, right?), make sure there's enough cat food, vacuum the floors, sweep the kitchen, do the laundry, fold the towels, wash the dishes, put stuff away, pick up after myself, etc. etc. etc.
Whew, I'm tired just writing it down and that's not all of it!
I've been reading the guidebooks again. I'm taking two - Rick Steves' Prague and Czech Republic and Thomas Cook Travellers guide to Prague. The Cook book (haha - cook book!) has some great walks in it. The Rick Steves' book has great ideas for being close to the ground. Oh yeah, got some geo-caches to print out and upload to the GPS. I ordered the unlock code for my phone so I can get a SIM card over there for the phone and called all my credit cards and banks (ok, so one of each, not really a whole bunch) to get PINs and notify them not to stop the charges coming from some crazy person in CR. Got all but one to cooperate. The lone card that I couldn't get past the automated PIN selector is just gonna have to stay home, I guess. Or I'll take it and not use it for cash advances, just for charging stuff. That's probably enough to use it for anyway.
I finally found a spare battery for my new camera. I ordered it from this place online and had it over-nighted to me - cost more for the shipping than for the battery! But it's definitely worth it to have the extra battery with me. Just in case, you know. I can see it now, there's the perfect shot and my new camera is dead! But now I'll have an extra battery - I really want to get out there and take some photos so I can see just how many I can take before the battery starts wearing down. I have about 1000 photos I can take on each 1G card and something like 10 minutes of video.
Ok, side story inserted here:
Isabelle's new MySpace page is here - check it out!
I guess I'll go put some laundry in right now and get a jump on tomorrow.
Ahoj!
