Every adventure has a beginning...

this photo was the beginning of mine. If you were playing along at home you might remember that right before i left for vacation i was very, very sick and that i had to buy new clothes and that i went to a funeral and that i had to work until 8pm before i left Saturday morning. What most of you don't know is that i found out my mom was in the hospital the day before i left. To say that i was exhausted and stressed out before my vacation doesn't quite do justice to reality. But somehow i managed to get everything packed, ready and to the airport by 6am. I was so excited that when the TSA lady pointed out that i forgot to sign my passport and handed me a pen, i spelled my name wrong : no joke. Finally, sitting at my gate i repacked my Betty Boop bag that was to be my day bag during the trip as i had literally thrown all the last minute things i could think off into it including my new memory card. I normally upload and clean off my card on a regular basis so i had no sense of how many pictures i could pack onto it. Deciding to err on the side of caution I bought another one just in case and thought it a good idea to have all of the vacation photos on the new one. After i unwrapped it and installed it I was hit with a brief panic that perhaps it might not work; perhaps it was defective. Looking around the waiting area of the airport i realized there just isn't much to take pictures off there. But looking down i saw my new black sandals and the fabulous vacation pink nail polish that i had pedicured with at 4am. CLICK The new card worked just fine and it was time to get on the plane.
