Will I be ready?
When I booked these plane tickets a few days ago, I thought "perfect, I am about caught up on everything" . That thought was great until I tried to do all the little details to finish up all the loose ends until I returned. I think I have been sorting, clicking, typing, doing up contracts, checking for wire transfers, and putting more holds on yachts in the last two days then the last two weeks!
Which, obviously is very good. Some for Promenade, some for other yachts, but it has been amazingly busy and I have been ignoring my sister (love you Syd) my parents (but I figured that was ok as I was going to be spending two weeks with them) and trying to ignore the boat! (They are going on charter now for a few months straight, so they will be too busy to talk to me anyways...)
I had the very smart idea to make my mother the administrator for this trip. She controls the paperwork and sorts it out, along with the passports etc. I am HORRIBLE at that! Bazza usually does it, but even he is happily giving over that roll. I had to giggle. My mother has envelopes on the table with the paperwork for each city we are going to be in ! Yes, you are correct. I would never do that in a hundred years...
We are all very excited. I even made them stop taking me for walks today as I was so sore from doing exercise I could barely get into bed, never mind looking forward to the pleasure of staying on a flight for 15 hours. All the leftovers were eaten out of the fridge last night, and my dad is taking us out to Swiss Chalet for dinner tonight...
My mother had time to get her nails and toes done today. I had time to do more paperwork. Now the parents are at a dance this afternoon. I want to be them!
Now, I have to pack. Then have a bath. That is what i have left to do. Of course I will still be blogging while gone! I think I would die if I could not do that. I also have my phone, my laptop (which I just spent awhile putting everything important on it since i use my desktop all the time now) So if anyone emails me they may get answers at odd times!
NO worries, g'day mate...off we go!
