In half an hour, we’ll be getting in a taxi to get to a bus to get to the airport to get on a plane to fly to America. I’m in the midst of my usual pre-trip panic (watering plants, clearing out fridge, taking out garbage, unplugging things), which puts me in a very foul mood indeed. I fully expect to come home in two weeks to a flat full of dead plants and burst water pipes, but I’m going to try to put that out of my mind right now and just enjoy the vacation.

My next update will be from sunny Arizona. Yay!
