14 days

I now have my ticket, a new pair of shoes, and not much else. I'm about to remedy that, though; Wednesday is shopping day! The closer I get to departure, though, the more excited I get. People keep asking me if I'm nervous, but I'm really not (other than having a seat near a stranger person(s) who'll fall asleep on me). I'm very calm about this, like it's just something I'm supposed to do and I'm ready to do it. This is the biggest adventure I've ever been on, and I am SO excited. No nerves at all. Two weeks from right now, I'll be in Chicago (never been there before either) in O'Hare airport, waiting to board the plane to Dublin. But first I get one more week at home, then a relaxing week at the beach with my family. Life doesn't get much better than this!
