I'm off!

Well, while it's not as much of an adventure as India was, it sure seemed like it took just as long to pack for 8 days in London/Paris. Oh well. Now I'm ready to go, and leaving for the airport in the next hour - woo hoo! Having a regular work schedule (decent hours, local client) the last 5 months, I thought, I don't *need* a vacation. Well, I was wrong. I've realized in the past few days that I do need to get out of the country, and not just cause I'm antsy. We'll see if the time away inspires any epiphanies. The last trip like this (a nine day trip to Costa Rica) resulted in me deciding to leave my job. I definitely don't foresee that coming down the pipe anytime soon, but you never know what I might realize was missing from my life the moment I step away from it...
