Preperations
Well, we leave on Wednesday. Today I'm doing the laundry, and setting aside what to pack. We did our run to the CVS and the Credit Union, called our cards to let them know we're traveling, and picked up those 99 cent travel toiletries (I have such fun looking at those.)
I'm trying to be good, and I'm only taking one notebook, one camera (the smaller one), and 2 paperback books. I am, however, loading up my iPod with audio books. Correction, Podiobooks. Free audio books that are released via podcast. This was a great find for me, and I am excited to re-listen to parts 1-4 of Mur Lafferty's Heaven series. I'm disappointed that I'll be missing the release of some of the 5th and last part, WAR, as it is starting to be relased on Monday.
Anyway, as Mur is graciously releasing these books for free via podcast, and since I love them enough to want to listen to them again just so I can come into the 5th book with a fresh listen (even though I just found out about them 2 months ago - I listened to all 4 straight, and they are much fun) - but they are free, I want to recommend them to anyone who is looking for something new to listen to. The easiest ways to get each book are from podiobooks.com, titles linked below:
And the 5th book, WAR will launch on podiobooks.com and at Heavennovel.com.
Ah well, back to doing pre-trip things. Gotta stock up on Cat litter for the house-sitter (well, for her to have for the cats), and instructions on how to change the water in The Bard's tank. Doesn't really seem like we're leaving this week. Here's hoping I'm ready in time.
