And So I Am Off...

To bed.

First anyway, and then up tomorrow (not at crack of dawn thank goodness) to finish up last-minute packing, love on my dogs, make sure my too-tired son goes to school (they got back from Italy today), and then head for the airport and for the UK at last.

I never did finish the last of the travel posts from the July trip (had one left, the Brecon Beacons) so will start out with that last one first before sharing more adventures.

This trip though, I am leaving the computer behind. I need a break. Work is so computer-intensive for me these days that the thought of two weeks without having to stare at a computer screen for hours on end, and stare at the beautiful countryside around me instead, has me so excited and full of...I don't know, just yes that I know I won't miss it at all. Not one wit.

I will have my itouch to touch base where there is wifi but that will be severely restricted, email only, and maybe that hardly at all. Likely. No twitter, no lj, no no no. It'll be good to concentrate on the world around me and especially the person I am with for awhile.

I'll be carrying a pen and a fresh notebook, however, and will see what kind of words I might be able to find to put on the page. We have addresses, and given how bad we both were about Christmas cards, hope (no, WILL) be sending postcards out to those whose addresses we already have.

And, we'll have our cameras! Lots of picture-taking to come, without doubt, and I hope that we'll find something new and interesting and exciting to take pictures of. There is rain expected, bah humbug, but so what. We'll be in Wales! London! TOGETHER!

So goodbye for now, flisties! I am off to refill the well. It needs it, bad.

Wooot! I'm sure you guys are going to have a spectacular time!

Have tons of fun computer-free! I've done that (once or twice), and it can be awesome!

I spend so much time on the computer, when I stay off of it for a period of time, I feel a lot more relaxed and healthy.

Have fun, enjoy yourselves, travel safely, and come back refilled and happy.

Have a great time! The weather is mixed -- bring waterproof clothing! -- but with luck you should be able to dodge the showers.

Safe journey, and enjoy the time off.

YAY! I think the reunion with a person you care so much about is the best part of long distance relationships. Have a great time!

I'm not going to wish you a fantastic time because you will have one.

What I will wish you both is the best of Britsh weather ;)

when i went away with my friend from australia, a few weeks back, i tried really hard to stay away from the internet. i dropped a few messages on my facebook [because i only have family and a friend or two over there and i wanted them to know i was safe]. it's so nice just to look

have a wonderful, wonderful time and take a million and two pictures!
