I’m starting to feel a teensy bit nervous about leaving. I had ideas about leaving my room in a nicely organized state but those plans are definitely not  going to happen now. I keep feeling like I’m forgetting something.

I just remembered one of them - it’s raining and my bike is sitting out there in the rain *groan*. I’m also hoping to get passport applications in before we leave and time is getting shorter and shorter. It’s not that it’s not enought time to run down to the town hall and apply. It’s the fact that I may have done something wrong that I won’t be able to correct in the time I have, and then not be able to apply before we go.

ETA: What do you know, the clerk is out and has been out for several days. So we have to stop at a post office someplace on the road I guess.

Well, Bonnie is not all that together for this leaving for the trip, but sooner or later she’ll level out. Probably while she’s lying in her bunk conjugating verbs, with no distractions except the roar of the bus engine and the chatter of people playing computer games. I fell asleep once while they were playing and all of their cheering and yelling was in my dream - I couldn’t figure out who’s side was the good side because it kept changing.

I am going to miss people I know online. Some trips the internet doesn’t mean a thing to me and I don’t bother to hunt endlessly for wireless, walking around the walmart parking lot twice and climbing big hills to see if there’s a signal from the commercial building nearby. But this trip, I will probably do a good deal of wifi hunting.
