At long last the time has come for Jason and I to see each other live and in person!! It has been almost 6 years (in December) since we have been able to really spend some time together!! They say it is a small world, but when one lives on the other side of that world, it is not so easy to have 'face-time'! I miss my sweet son so very much and from the sound of it...Jason is ready for some 'Mom" time!! and Mom is ready to meet Stella, my little grand-dog!! We will have such lovely walks while Jason is working!!!
Here are the numbers:
- 11 days from today until I begin my 27 hour trip from Palm Beach Int'l to Sydney, Australia (Leaving on November 29th, at 12:45 PM)
- Arriving on Dec 1st in Sydney at 8:10AM...somewhere there is a day lost!!
- I will be staying at Jason's for 87 days!! That is right, almost 90 days!! Which is the maximum time one can visit with a Australian Visa!!
- It is summer 'down unda' and there will be no Winter season for Cindy this year!!
- Return on Feb 23rd, 2014 at 10:41PM (At this point I am sure I will not know my own name, much less what day it is!!)
Aahhh, the 'to do' details are beginning to decline as the 'finished' list grows!! I got my US Passport, Australian Visa, an International Driver's License (Jason suggested this as we may take a road trip or two! He does not have a car since he lives downtown, but we can rent one if we want and it will help if I can drive, too!! OMG...on the wrong side of the road!!). Packing is ongoing!!! Don't want to forget the good old DeLand Stetson Baptist Church Cookbook that Jason grew up on...he can't wait to pick out recipes for Mom to cook!!!!
Have had to make advance arrangements for extra medications to cover the time away, notify the banks of my travel plans, forward the mail, stop the newspaper, notify my neighbors, clean up the condo and prepare it for my guest...and on and on!!
Soooo, can anyone think of something I missed??
