WHAT calm? WHAT storm??
So, as typical when we're planning something big, my thoughts are all doom and gloom lately.
It's anything and everything. The car catches fire in the night and burns the garage down before we go. We're in a serious car accident a few days before leaving, rendering us injured or the car damaged. One of us comes down with some horrible flu or disease. The house burns down and the cats die while we're gone. The car gets stolen with all our stuff in it while we're in a restaurant on the road. We drive off a cliff or we get buried in a rockslide...
... and so on. You get the idea. It's so freaking cheery living with my brain, I tell you!
Seeing stories like this really doesn't help, either. That's where we're staying our first night. I'm pretty sure that it'll all be cleaned up by the time we get there, but still. :( Just one more thing to worry about.
We've got our itinerary planned out, and have hotels booked. (When I can get plonq's list I'll do a locked post with where we're staying.) We're staying at a bed & breakfast in Victoria! I'm so excited. ^.^ It looks really cool. Does anyone have any B&B ettiquite or tips for us?
But before we go there is the List. I started composing it in my head last night and it got really long. I decided to try and break it out by day so that I'm not staring at it, getting overwhelmed.
