I leave tomorrow, Gentle Reader. Am I running around like the proverbial headless chicken? Darlings, I'm a boneless skinless chicken breast. It's not pretty at the House of Gail, right now, not pretty at all.
I both love and loathe packing, all that neat organization and rolling of clothes and tucking of socks into nooks versus the panicked worry that I have forgotten something absolutely vital. However, I have 14 event outfits planned and in rotation (out of two suits and two dresses), three of which are unused and waiting on the sidelines in case something gets spilled on or torn or additional events are added. That is about as ready as I get for anything.
If you want to catch me on my whirlwind tour, this is your chance. I won't be back to any of these locations for a while. My next three years of overseas trips (I only do one a year) are already decided.

Quote of the Day:
"The chicken stalks at midnight.
But the duck dances at dusk.
The penguin looks inscrutable.
And the rooster preys at dawn.
While the hen shops on ebay.
The password is three clucks and a b'kaw."
