Almost there!

ONLY 4 SLEEPS TO GO!

According to the countdown clock on my computer here at work I have 3Days:15Hrs:04Min until our plane leaves to the good ol' USofA...

Hmmm I'd better start packing... Nah, better not rush things... 8^)

Even though today was SUPPOSED to be my last day at work I'll have to come back in for one more day (probably Thursday) and tidy up a few loose ends.
GODDAM IT!

Today I got a hair cut, an International Driving Permit, and some luggage so it is finally starting to feel like I'm going on a holiday. Up until now I've been too busy (and wound up) to feel it, but I think it's finally hitting me.

Speaking of wound up, have I told you what an idiot our travel agent was?
Don't get me started! If there was a way to make a mistake, she'd find it!

Let that be a lesson to you all out there.

• Don't believe what anyone - even paid professionals tell you! (see next point)
  
• Use the internet! (like I have to tell you that one)
  
• Don't be afraid to ask the stupid or obvious questions - remember the it may not be that obvious TO AN IMBECILE
  
• Shop around for best prices & conditions (see internet above) - don't just settle with the travel agent at the local shops because it's easy and convenient.
  YOU'LL REGRET IT! (unless you've got money to burn. In which case - BURN AWAY!)
  
• and finally, if you don't like the answer you get - ASK AGAIN! And if you still don't like the answer - ASK SOMEONE ELSE!
  

Now that I've vented that I can move on with my life and start enjoying my holiday.
