Sheesh. I just finished packing 44 days worth of clothing, travel supplies and basic medical stuff into a duffel and back pack that will fit into a 36x12x24" locker... and if you know me very well at all, you know that I have been doing this very carefully over the last two weeks; weeding out the unnecessary items, upgrading, sizing down, checking my list, repacking, pulling everything out and displaying it across the living room floor only to think - wow, there isn't a lot of stuff here at all, Do I need something new?!?!! But I am finally ready! I am anxious, nervous and super excited! I think the only nervous part is about sleeping on a naval ship bunk bed and eating 3 square meals a day starting at 6am! What happened to snack time and happy hour?!?! I will keep you posted on if I find anyone who will trade me better sleeping arrangements for some quality nursing care and some cosmos for what's packed in my first aid kit!! Keep your fingers crossed! Well, less than 12 hours to take off and I am finishing up all the "minor details." Watch out Mercy Ship, 'cause here I come!!
