And tomorrow we're off!

I'd like to say the bags are packed and waiting at the door...but I'm not even sure they are out of the closet yet!! I keep thinking of "one more thing" I need to do before I start packing...I think it is called "procrastination". It's not that I don't want to go on the trip; I just don't want to pack for the trip!

We leave tomorrow morning for Dallas, where we will spend most of the day wandering the airport before we leave at 4 something p.m. for Frankfort, which is about a 10-hour flight. From there we fly to Stockholm, and board the cruise ship. This is a Baltic Sea cruise with stops in Stockholm, St. Petersburg, Helsinki (Finland), Warnemunde and Keil (Germany), and then Copenhagen. The temperatures are forecasted to be in the mid-70's, and we are looking forward to that!

Thanks to all who are helping us with all the housesitting, dogsitting, catsitting, plant-watering, etc., at home. We couldn't do it without you! We'll post as often as we can, and add pictures if possible.

And now to the packing....
