Almost!!!!

Readying to leave... tomorrow is the big day. We embark on our Hawaiian adventure. I am excited but also a bit anxious about the 8 hour flight. 8 hours... well, it beats 15 to Russia any day of the week I suppose!

Today I have to take my froggies over to my brother Dan for safe keeping. I am delivering them to his office at work- which is also RB's place of business too. Lots of guys up there to feed my beloved frogs. I stocked up their pantry yesterday with lots of yummy crickets and meal worms (ack-gag). I think those guys might actually get a kick out of frog sitting.

Our old dog Lovey and Mr. Kitty are also going to be sat. They are being boarded at the vets office. They just got back from there for the 4th of July weekend adventure and I know they are not going to be happy about this. Lovey gives me the most pitiful eyes and then puts on her donkey act- refusing to move one inch without me going too. They have to drag her to the back with her looking back at me all pitiful like. Kitty goes into psycho mode. His eyes get huge and he looks like a wild cat- literally. He hunkers down in the back of his "pet taxi" and mews and mows with great disdain and horror. I feel terrible about it but at least I know they will be safe and sound when we return. Sad. I am such a guilt ridden fool.

Kan is ALL ABOUT asking... "We going to the beach Mama?" I tell him how many more days and he is exasperated every time. "Sheesh- can we just go already?" He relaxes as soon as he sees his bag getting packed... "Yep, theres my bag- I am definitely going!" Quite the little traveler! I fixed each boy up with a goodie bag for the plane. They have a few new toys stuffed in there, some gummie bears & jelly beans, cheese crackers, colors and new coloring books, Gameboys, books, and a pillow each. I have had to fight them off so as not to ruin the "new". Kan is stoked to have his own bag of goodies to drag through the airport. I hope it can get 'em through the flight. RB and I have taken to listening to Audiobooks. Our last three trips we listened diligently! Man, that is a blast! We have had a great time. I picked us several new ones and am excited to give 'em a listen. Now, lets just hope Kan will let us listen... He has Gameboy and a Leapster so I can hope, right?

My purse... Oh MY GOSH! My purse is huge and packed full of all sorts of Traci goodies too. I have Junior mints...my favorite, books, magazines, MP3 player, camera, along with the normal purse stuff. It weighs a frigging TON! GREAT. It is big enough I can possibly crawl in and nap. I might have to cram Kan in there and tote him through the airport... okay, only kidding.

Welp... Kan just got up and has begun his morning demands... Juice, TV, HUNGRRRRY!!!!! I guess it is time for me to get to work. AYE, AYE- CAPTAIN!

Next time we speak I will either be in Hawaii or back from. Bye til then!
