12 June 2014 (TH)

What the heck??!!  It's as if I've never packed for Europe before!  Or any trip, for that matter.  And our house was hot and humid....down goes the A/C, up goes the bill.

This is the 7th year I've traveled to Europe and I constantly warn my students to pack lightly.  Well, I had no earthly idea where the weight came from, but I am now schlepping across Europe one large suitcase right at 50 lbs, a second medium-sized suitcase weighing in at about 40lbs, my carryon which is about 30 (luckily they didn't weigh it!!) and a bag that's doubling as my "purse."  I am confused because I was certain I'd downsized from last year, or at least stayed the same.  $80 later, I am the proud person who gets to take everything everywhere.  <sigh>

I am currently in the airport waiting for something to eat.  I am utterly ravenous. I've had the worst gastroenteritis over the last two weeks.  Finally I think it's better.  I hope so, haha!!  I am tired of toast, bananas, and bland foods. I haven't even had a glass of wine since May 31st!  Yikes....I'm dry :o)

I am pleased that I get to say really, really nice things about TSA!  They were efficient, quick, friendly, and on their game today.  Things flowed smoothly, which is such a nice change from what usually happens!  That helped lower my stress level by bunches too.

Guess that's about it for now.  Food should be coming in just a few.  I am looking forward to getting on the plane and arriving in Copenhagen tomorrow.  It's always a really long "day" as I'm awake with minor snoozing for about 26 or more hours.  Fun...??  I can't wait!!  Adventures await :)
