Final Preparations

I went back to Guelph for the last time Thursday to grab a few things I had forgotten and tie up some loose ends. Don't know when I'll get back to that city... so strange.

Picked up my visa yesterday; it feels so good to have my passport again. It's like I've been set free and I can go wherever I please. I stayed at my mom's last night and I'm going to see my grandmother today, then its back to my dad's place for one last day. I'll unpack and repack probably two or three times before I'm satisfied with what I am taking.

I booked a flight for Sunday night. One way, ridiculously cheap. How cheap, you ask? $220 after taxes! I don't know how I lucked out on this one, but I couldn't turn it down. So, it sucks that I'll miss AI transition AND the World Cup Final Match, but for the amount of money I am saving I cannot complain. Besides, if Spain wins, I'm sure they will be celebrating for a week after I'm there.

I fly out with Air Transat at 10:05 p.m. direct to Madrid, where I arrive at 11:20 in the morning. I think I'll try and head to the house first, because I don't really want to have to to lug my luggage all around town to the office and then home. I might still do that though, so that I can actually get some work done on Monday before settling in.

So, it's finally happening. I'm leaving, and its scary and exciting all at the same time. But I know I'm ready for it, and its going to be one hell of an adventure.
