Starting to FREAK OUT!

I thought that these four months at home would be long and relaxing...that I would have tons of chances to visit with friends and family, and of course, plenty of time to plan and prepare for my trip to Europe. Umm...its now August 28th...I leave in 10 days...where the heck did the summer go?!

I have done quite a bit of planning already so I'm not totally freaking out...yet, anyways! My check list is slowly whittling down so hopefully I can get it all done in the next week and a half! Here's my list:

  1. Buy new camera
  2. Freeze gym membership - DONE!
  3. Change cell phone plan
  4. Get travel insurance - DONE!
  5. Buy train pass - DONE!
  6. Get cash in GBP and Euros
  7. Get car transferred to Ontario (plates, insurance, registration)
  8. Book flights (Italy-Greece, Greece-London, London-Dublin, Cork-Bristol)
  9. Book Eurostar ticket
Wow...I thought I had done more than that. Now looking at the list I'm starting to get more anxious again! Some of those are already half done, though. My camera is on back-order at Henry's and should be in on Monday. I'm waiting to change my cell plan until right before I leave. I was having trouble calling England to book my Eurostar ticket so I've asked my brother to do it for me. And I booked half my flights last night so I only have to book two more.

As for getting my car information all transferred to Ontario...well that has just been one problem after another. I've already been to the licensing place TWICE- the first time they said I needed to get insurance in Ontario first, then the 2nd time they told me I needed a safety and emissions test. Why they couldn't tell me ALL the information the first time I went in, I do not know. But a few hundred dollars later, hopefully I will get that all over with today! Wish me luck!

Love, Dianna

Days til I leave: 10
