And we’re off

by Mothership on November 1, 2008

This is just a short note to let you know that we begin our mammoth journey tomorrow, so the next time I post I will be in deepest, darkest AFRIKAAAA.

Or else in a straightjacket in an undisclosed location.

I suppose in that case I won’t actually be posting as I won’t be able to reach the keys so if you don’t hear from me ever again that is probably what has happened. 

Otherwise, I will be back online at some point next week.
Should be interesting, at least.
We will be staying with my mother who really doesn’t understand at all how badly we are going to disrupt her household, and I will be experiencing two completely different kinds of not listening to my words from both the younger and older generation. 

Must dash now, important packing of hand luggage to do – let’s see, diapers, check! dvd player, check! baby Benadryl, check!
Now where’s that 3oz bottle of whiskey and my quart sized ziploc bag..

A bientot!

Bon voyage! Hope the flight isn’t as stressful as you were expecting it might be. Have a wonderful time and I look forward to reading your reporting from the field!

Your writing is fabulous and it strikes a chord every time. I find I’m disappointed each time I reach the end of your latest piece. Couldn’t you publish and make millions with this – compare it to the trash that some people get paid to write!!
Hope the trip proves to be a never-ending source of more musings… Love to Grandma xxx

Hummm, it’s the 11th and we haven’t heard from you. I haven’t read about any plane crashes or crazy mom’s hijacking a plane. Hope all is well and that you are have too much fun to blog!
