Allons-y!

It is starting to hit me that tomorrow night I will be gazing up at different sky.

I didn't feel it at all until now...I find myself so nervous and excited that I can't sleep.

I definitely didn't feel it this morning.

I woke early this morning. Ate breakfast.  Lazily read the paper.
I watched Kick Ass while I did some last minute subtractions from all my bags...like do I really need my copy of World War Z and Zombie Survival Guide?  Or so many flip flops?  No. 
I made a few additions like a compact surge protector.
I really wanted to take my big ass flashlight for safety and security, but that sucker was too heavy.
I hope that I can find one on the island.

I cleaned up my room.  Did some last minute laundry.  Played with my dog...I am going to miss his snoring.  Then I spent the afternoon cooking my meals for the trip.  I also want to bring food that will last me til the next morning.  I am not sure if they will stock my refrigerator with a few staples.  I don't want to take any chances, especially for my diet.

A few months ago I eliminated all dairy and gluten.  A few weeks ago I cut out all refined sugar and high fructose corn syrup.  It was really hard at first.  To say that I was irritable is an understatement.  But now I feel great!   I find I have a lot more energy, I think more clearly, and I sleep better at night.

I hope that I can continue to eat this healthy on the island.  I know that they import most of their food.
In California, we are spoiled - you get too use to having any fruit or vegetable you want at any time of the year.  You forget that is now how it use to be nor how it is for the rest of the world.
I plan to incorporate the local produce and I will start a little seasonal garden of my own.

I watched Mad Men and Game of Thrones tonight - repeatedly because OMG!!!!!!!
And I did one last check of all bags and purse.
Everything is set!

My eyes are heavy, but I can't sleep.
My stomach is all a flutter and my heart is playing bongos.
1 year ago - living and practicing law in the South Pacific was a dream.
And tomorrow night I will be there...my Zihuatanejo.
:)

And it feels so right.

*deep breaths*

Here I go!!!!!!!!
