Anticipation!

So, its almost here.. 5 days.. Five freakin' days and I'll be in Bali. Okay, so technically its six days considering the 18 hours of flight time and time change.. But technicalities, shmechnicalities..

My plan on this get-away is to fly by the seat of my pants.. My only plan was my plane ticket, and the hotel for when I arrive.. everything else is up in the air. And seriously, for being such a care-free trip.. A ton of planning is involved! Finding a dog-sitter for 3 weeks is pretty much a feat on its own (Thank you to Wendy and Taylor.. I love you forever.. And to my Brother, I love you and thanks for only taking my soul and first-born for the 4 days you will be watching them. What a bargain!).

Also, a big thank you to Hollywood, Julia Roberts and everyone a part of "Eat, Pray, Love" for making it seem like a trip to Bali is as breezy as filling a duffle bag with cargo shorts, linen tops and a hat and jumping on a plane. They failed to mention the tetnus, malaria and whooping cough vaccines. I was told that Bali is 'Heaven on Earth'... Due to my huge fear of needles, I'm hoping that there aren't any vaccines to get into the real Heaven.. But that's not something I have to worry about now. Hopefully.

Anyways, so my bags are almost packed.. which is weird for a procrastinator like myself. I am still unsure about the outfits to bring.. I mean, what does one wear when searching for her sanity? Or when riding elephants? And what if I meet "Him".. Him being the emotionally available, hilarious, all-American-ish Australian bongo player with the perfect body. What does one wear when meeting Him?! Yeah yeah, he's gonna love me for me, and blah blah blah.. but come on, I have to have that perfect "Oh, this old thing" dress that catches his eye. So yes, this is the type of planning they failed to mention in the movie. And regardless if i am ready, I will be boarding that plane in a few days..

And I can't wait. My whole body is smiling.. From the top of my head, to my freshly painted toes..

Stay tuned for pictures and stories.. With my luck, oh dear.. I can only imagine.
