I'm in that state of pre-travel suspension - you know how it is: I've eaten all or most of the food in the house, things are relatively tidy, I'm trying to finish the book I'm reading and do whatever I do without making a mess or opening any new food packages.

Everything on my "to do" list is done except the actual packing. I want so much to travel light but always seem to take more than I really need or will use with me. But perhaps if I'm really determined, I can take one of those carefully chosen selection of clothes where everything goes with everything else and with the clever addition of a scarf or some jewelry, you can move from afternoon to a formal evening out... ha. Do you thing that's very likely? I don't :)

Well, I leave much too early tomorrow morning to post anything. My Macbook is packed (this is my Other Laptop). So the chances are, next time I post I'll be in PARIS

Here is my to-do list:

Buy travel medical insurance
Return library books
Pay utility bill
Pay credit card bill
Phone credit card company to warn them of upcoming foreign purchases (did but they were closed, so must try again tomorrow)

Buy Euros (may not bother with this, or may do at Toronto airport while killing time on Monday)
Find thingy to fasten pack across chest
Purchase useful and comfortable sandals
Purchase lightweight fleece or hoody
Pay parking ticket that I got while shopping today - if done within 14 days is half price. Tried earlier but hadn't gone through yet.
Sign contract for Museum of Healthcare and mail it (this is for a very unimportant piece of writing of mine that they are using on their "virtual museum" - comes of having a friend who is building it)
Return dvds
Groom dogs (mostly done)
"Advantage" dogs
Put all outdoor potted plants onto deck and water them (pretext for this is that cat sitter has key, and there is a hose on the deck so it's easier for her to water them for me there than scattered about the place)
Clean house
Do laundry

Pack

Most of the remaining items above can be done tomorrow. Dogs are to be delivered to their "holiday home" in the morning, and I'm stopping in to see elderly person mentioned in previous posts before going away. That will be a brief visit with all remaining "to do" items as pretext for cutting it short.
