Not Exactly Summer

All this time, I thought I was leaving Thursday next week the 31st. I just realized right now that 31st is Wednesday, not Thursday. No wonder I had all my dates mixed up in my mind. But, now it's really crunch time. A week from today, I will be leaving, or I have left. Off the top of my head, I can think of a couple of things I need to get done, and I have been dragging my feet on doing them. Now I am starting to get anxious, as I am wont to feel whenever I embark on a trip. Geez, now I just need to make a mental note to make sure that the zippers on my suitcase still work (they were tagging the last time I checked) and if they are defective, then I will need to do what I need to do. And, I realize that the temperature in Eastern Europe around this time is not really "summer weather."  Lows in the 50s, and highs in the mid 60s - not exactly the same as the Mediterranean, which is what I have been used to. So, layering, layering, layering - that will be the key to the wardrobe necessities this time around. And I will try not to forget to bring my scarves! Yay !
