I figured I should probably get a start on my packing although there really isn't all that much to do. I'm getting ready for the "garage" sale tomorrow morning. Can you really call it that when the sale is being set up outside and nowhere near a garage? LOL Anyway, if you're in the neighbourhood, come by for a look see. The website for my neighbourhood in Toronto is www.thedistillerydistrict.com. I get tired of explaining that (1) yes I own a condo (2) no I don't live in it (3) my girlfriend rents it from me full-time (4) I rent a room (master bedroom suite) from one of my neighbours and therefore (5) live in the same building!
Anyway, back to packing and the sale. I have a lot of nice costume jewellery that I never wear anymore so I will try to sell that. I guess I should know a think or two about selling that kind of stuff by now eh? :) So I'll be setting up around 8AM and standing around until noon-ish. I went through my room last night and I have six boxes to pack plus one suitcase. This is all stuff going back into my Dad's basement including some cool weather clothes. He wanted to know what I am going to "do" with the "stuff" at his place. I wondered why he was asking ... is he moving, dying, WHAT? He just laughed and said it was OK to leave it there. What a guy! xo
So now comes the hard part ... saying goodbye to everyone and making the transition to another country. Everyone keeps asking me if I am excited and the answer is, surprisingly, no. I have a lot to do in the next 9 days and I dread saying goodbye to people, especially my parents and my girlfriends. Then there is the flight, schlepping my suitcases all over hell and back. Once settled at Casa Andrea, I will feel better. Once I see Jeff and John and Lynnda and everyone else in PV, I will feel better. But I know from past experience that the first couple of weeks are always an adjustment ... the weather, the food, the pace ... who would have thought that SLOWING DOWN could be stressful? It's different when you're on vacation. I know I'll be fine once I step off the plane.

Hey Sheri! Thanx for your comments. I am flying out on Sunday September 19th. Should be southside before 12 noon. I will be thinking about all of you as I tuck into my first DECENT margarita in over two months ...
PVLinda Said "I finally got logged onto your new message board. Thank the goddess. I am strapping on my seat beat, cause I expect a wild ride on the Juliana PV Express! I am really excited to hear that you are going to have high speed internet. I missed talking to you last season. I won't even need to go to the internet cafe in November. See I am coming up with excuses to visit your apartment. Looking forward to your giving us a blow by blow PV experience. Good Luck and have fun ....... Love you Amiga, Linda"
