Its the last final weekend before the trip and I'm trying to get the house ready for the prolonged absence. I keep going through my lists of things to prepare and pack and I think I have most everything ready. But I always suffer the stress of thinking that I will forget something important. The last time I went to Europe for 4 weeks, I found out that nobody knew what Pepto Bismal was and it was sold no where, not even the pharmacy. So this year I'm packing a couple of bottles with me - won't make that mistake again.
