Running low on time...

I haven't even finished packing and I will be at the airport in 12 hours. I am NOT with it today. I've managed to spend the whole day somehow. I've discovered that due to boxes of presents all of the stuff I need will not fit into my small suitcase. (The presents would take up 3/4 of the room and leave no room for things like clothes and shampoo.) I'm going to solve this by putting them into the large suitcase inside a bag. When I reach Arlanda I'll take those out and carry them through. I don't think Swedish authorities are going to protest wrapped Christmas presents in a paper bag with a handle. It will be fun meeting up with the boyfriend's roommate. I don't know where or when to meet her. I just know that sometime during the many hours I'll be at the airport she'll be there to take my large suitcase... I do have her cell number now. That should help a bit.

Why is it that when I'm pressed for time my first idea is to come blog? Maybe I should get back to packing... I haven't even poured shampoo and conditioner into the smaller bottles I use for traveling. This trip doesn't even seem real. I've looked forward to it for so long I can't believe that the time has come. The wait must be harder for David though. He doesn't even have all the hustle and bustle of getting ready and traveling to keep him occupied. He'll be playing the waiting game, not knowing where the heck I am for the next 28 and a half hours. He won't know if I made all my flights or anything. And I think there's a pretty good chance I'll miss my connection in Amsterdam. Less than an hour to get from one flight to the next. I have 5+ hours in Stockholm though. That should give me time to change out of my PJs and make myself look presentable, Swedish style. I need a bit of time to make myself look a bit less American so I don't embarrass David. I haven't had time to take my nail polish off yet either. I hope I don't freak him out too much.

Ok... NOW back to packing!
