Going Home 2...

Detailed list ready…big bag emptied and in the corner of my room…first round of clothes and toiletries in…list being checked and rechecked…ticked and crossed…air tickets in my hand bag all the time…
For me the excitement of a trip home…or anywhere else that’s speical, begins 10 to 15 days before the date of departure…the joy of going away lies in the little details…I am in the details…in the little things that I can put down in my list…

That’s why sudden, on the spur of the moment trips are fun but lack the planning stage…
and I’m a planning person…
a list person…
a packing-bags-a-month-in-advance person…
an opening-bag-and-looking-at-ticket-again-and-again person…
a counting-the-days-left-to-go kinda person…
a calling-home-and-saying-‘I’m coming home’ kinda person…
a calling-home-and-fixing-menu-for-my-entire-trip kinda person…
a buying-presents-for-everyone-including-little-auggie-doggie kinda person…
a wonder-what-I’ll-be-doing this-time-next-week-at-home kinda person…
a jumpy-happy person…
a looking-high-on-something-illegal kinda person…
a counting-the-seconds kinda person…
a seeing-brother-at-airport-and hugging-for- 5-minutes-till-he’s-embarassed kinda person…
a waving-wildly-at-seeing-family kinda person…

ok…seeing this list, I can safely add….
Need-to-go-home-more-often kinda person…
an-embarassing kinda person I am!!

But simply-a-happy-to-be-going-home kinda person I am…
