All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go...

... 'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again

It's true! Bags are packed/shipped and I fly out Tuesday morning, very early!  I am flying standby, so hopefully I will be on that first, early flight out of Atlanta.  This has been a tough week. Between getting all my stuff packed and shipped, and trying to spend time with friends and family and saying goodbye ... ouch!

I am truly so very excited about being in Alaska next week! There is nothing I want more-- but goodbyes (no matter for how long/short they are) are always bittersweet.  A big thank you to all of you for your thoughts, prayers, and support.  I could not be doing this without you!
