Itinerary and to-do lists

Closing in on three weeks before departure… in three months, when you start hearing rumours of my disillusionment, send me an email and remind me of the anticipation and excitement I’m feeling right now.

I’ve always liked having a concrete flight itinerary to hold in my hands: dates, times, and airports that can fuel the travelbug fantasies. Here’s what will get me stalkers to Ghana:

Yes, if you’ve done the math, it would be quicker/cheaper for me to just drive directly to Atlanta on the 7th. I didn’t make the reservations. Hurray for traveling on the US-GOV’s dime?!

Things to do before I leave:

• Hit up my doctor for 3 months’-worth of prescriptions & a current Yellow Card.
• Burn through (maybe just burn) a pile of half-finished sewing projects.
• Switch banks and decide what method will draw the most interest on my tiny stack of cash.
• Do the whole legal-matters thing, give my parents Power of Attorney, etc.
• Convince Auburn University I really don’t owe them money.
• Look into property insurance for computer & camera.
• Register to vote absentee this November
• Pack.

Promises to fulfill before I leave:

• (Finally) visit a few specific people.
• Camping trip in Callaway with my mom & mutual friend.
• Teach a (different) friend to knit and cook Thai food.

Strange lists, maybe, and thankfully they don’t consist of much at all. If I missed anything, I’m sure someone will let me know.
