Travel time is nearly here

Next week at this time we should be visiting our daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter in Florida. Seemed like the time for this trip would never get here. Now it's right around the corner and I wonder how we'll get everything done in time. Have already done quite a lot, actually, like leaving most things in order for the classes we'll miss and getting a couple lined up to stay in our house. Asked a colleague to look after the school clock/bell system, paid our monthly taxes, made a bank deposit, wrote and sent our October circular letter for mailing and distribution. We also ordered our new laptop computer, several lexicons for students, made copies of our house keys and have started reading a book for the seminar we will attend. Are you bored yet?
Will be good to have a change of scenery for those 14 days. Oh yes, two weekends from now we should be visiting our oldest son, his wife and their three boys in the northeast. Nice to include these family visits on this trip. Will have to wait to visit more family and our other son and his wife in the mid-west around Christmas time, Lord willing.
