It is countdown time. I leave Saturday the 10th on my trip. First to Miami, then Lima, Peru and then on to various points in Chile and Argentina. Have had advice to bring back wine, woven goods, leather goods and to be sure and sample their beef. I will try but can only pack 44 pounds total (and I do need to wear clothes for almost three weeks).
I am getting really excited about the trip and some time away and a change of scene. I went to see Cowboy this past Saturday. He was doing fine. I explained to him about the trip. He said "I wish you wouldn't go". I responded "Why, are going to miss me?" He said "No, I am afraid you will get cold".
I plan to go see him tomorrow and then it will be three weeks until I see him again. The girls will be checking on him I am sure. Need to talk to them before I leave. I will be able to be contacted but would take a while to get back if something should go wrong. Longest I have been away. When we went to Africa back in 2001 we were gone for 21 days and I decided then, that was about my limit.
Am about finished with the house, for the short term anyway. Still want to buy a better range and microwave, replace the tile in the front hall and replace the fence in back. It will probably be a little while before I get started. Need to some time to develop some outside activities so will probably focus on that when I get back.
