My 666th post....

[kybearfuzz]

... is describing me freaking out about the trip now. Well, maybe "freaking out" isn't the proper phrase, it's more of a mix of anxiousness, nervousness, and apprehension (aren't they all different connotations of the same feeling?). I still have so much left to do at home and on my list and, to be honest, being in this office isn't helping. Many of the things I need to do are at home.... ugh...

Random points of the last two days:

• Found my plug-in adapters and the one for the UK is missing.
  
• The Post Office doesn't have the hold mail cards in the lobby, which is inconvienent for me when you stop at 6 PM on the way home from work.
  
• My local Wal-Mart doesn't carry Downy Wrinkle Remover for those emergency wrinkle problems on the road. Some hotels, I've found, don't have irons.
  
• I still need to pack.
  
• I still need to decide what books and DVD's to take with me.
  
• I still need to get foreign currency.
  
• The online bill pay for the phone company is a piece of crap, they sent me a note to let me know my bank's routing number I entered is wrong. The letter took two days, an email is instant, guess which they sent. Late fees added. Bitches.
  
• I was asked out on a date last night for this weekend... sigh... :(

A big hug to the handsome Irish boobooirl, who has been sending me great information about Ireland. I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to respond, but I GREATLY appreciate the help :)

I'd recommend to use the card whenever you can, but not to get money out of it (on ATMs). Instead take some Euros with you, and try to pay everything by card. But don't take out money on the ATMs ( commissions, extra charges... you know the drill)

Are you coming to the UK, as well?

Well, a little cash is always a good idea, but I charge when I can.

And I'll be Welwyn Garden City (near Hatfield) in Hertfordshire from July 8th to the 15th.

Well, I'm hoping to travel to London on that first weekend and see some sights again. It will depend on the work I'm doing.
