14 Sleeps to Go!

My friend, A, asked how many sleeps until I go to Europe.
You see, our God-daughter, H, always used to ask how many sleeps until she could go to the cottage in Southampton.
This, then, is a normal question when we're anticipating something exciting.

 But I didn't know!
Today I counted.
14!
I think I'm ready.

Prague is 6 hours ahead of us in Central Europe Summer Time.
As I write this it's 7 degrees Celcius and clear. The days are getting warmer there too!
I've book marked a site that will keep me up to date on all of that.

I have purchased everything that I think I might need (lock for the suitcase, mini umbrella etc).
Really I don't know what I'll need and I know I have to have space in my suitcase because I know I'm going to buy stuff there (I'm still after a Czech hockey jersey) and maybe some Bohemian crystal, oh and maybe a beer stein. Ho hum... the list goes on.

At work I'm winding down too. No, I don't know how many sleeps I have until my leave of absence but when things are discussed about next fall or after the summer I find myself tuning out! Oh dear! Sorry, C, (my manager) it's just happening, I can't help it!

I have had the fun of thinking ahead for the road trip too.
Last week, B, one of the RT's that works on the ward, was giving me pointers of what route I could take in my eastern swing. B's been there a bunch of times with his family and gave me great pointers. I can't wait to go tubing in Miramichi New Brunswick and go to Digby Nova Scotia for scallops. There's so much to research! I'm glad I got a big vehicle because I'm going to have all sorts of trinkets and things from this trip too. I think though, I've got a pretty good handle on what will happen on at least that part of the trip!

I have also realized that L'Ann's End will have a very short season this year. Usually I open up at the end of April. Not this year. It will be in May, then close again at the beginning of September. 
Short season but for a fun reason!

So, 14 sleeps to go until I board a plan for Frankfurt, then a train to Dresden, Germany, then another train for Prague. I'll be pooped out but what a thrill!

The countdown begins......
