Friday morning and there’s less than a week to go before we jet off. After a few minor issues with funding, which have now been sorted, we are actually above budget and set to have a fantastic trip. We’ve even been able to replace our old Panasonic Lumix digicam for a Canon Powershot S2 IS, and we’re shopping for a camcorder this weekend. So look out for some interesting photos in the weeks to come.

Now there’s not much more to do than pack, get my nails done (tomorrow), and fly out. I’m a little nervous about going through LAX because everyone has a LAX horror story to share. I’ve never been on a 16 hour flight before so that will be interesting and I know that Sam is going to drive me nuts unless we medicate him with either alcohol or drugs - neither of which would probably be a good idea in a confined space.

Other than that… we’re doing just fine. Everything is done. Now it’s just a waiting game… and everyone hates waiting. Still… this is a trip worth waiting for!
