10 17 am pdt [ calm down ]
My mother has just informed me that she hasn't packed
yet. We are leaving at 8 tonight. Today will no doubt be interesting.
I am trying to remain calm, which is a little difficult
when countered with my mother's franticness.
Today I am headed for England to visit my brother. I will not have
internet access. I will be taking copious digital photos and will be
keeping a paper travel journal. Photos will be posted here upon my
return. Wish me bon voyage!
