Down to the Wire!
Less than 3 full days before we begin our trip - wow, how time flies! There were a couple of scares in there. We were afraid our tourist visas wouldn't come back in time, fortunately they did :) And when I went to comfirm our flight details on Orbitz, they had unassigned our seats and had us stuck in the middle of two people on one flight (there is a reason why I bought two seats for myself, duh!), and had not enough seats for the seats they unassigned on the other. They have assured me that we will be accommodated properly on the flight, but I'm still a little bit nervous. All I know is that heads will roll if I get to the airport and there are issues.
I'm actually looking forward to the TAM portion of the flight. I've been looking around online, and trip reports like this one have shown me that I really have nothing to worry about.
It's been a bit nerve wracking trying to do all the last minute things and not forgetting anything (like going to the bank, stopping mail and paper, calling the alarm company to let them know what's going on, calling the credit card companies, taking the animals to the kennel, going to the doctor, packing, and so much more.) I went to the doc on Friday and she gave me 30-day supplies of all my meds and a pre-filled Lovenox syringe (for my Factor V Leiden, so I don't get DVT on the long flight) to give myself before I get on the plane. I'm planning on documenting the trip fully by taking pics, stay tuned. I'll have (from what I understand) internet access in both the airports and on the plane. so you'll be hearing from me soon. :)
