Preparation For A Field Trip

I am currently getting ready for a field trip. This trip will be for just over two weeks. I will be boarding a plane on the weekend, but I won’t tell you where just yet.

I have been trying to prepare for this trip for the last year. However, we had to prepare to move to Newfoundland last summer. There went almost six months of prep time. Now, I’m getting down to the wire.

Earlier this week, I was trying to get things done so that I wouldn’t be feeling so much pressure right now. Was I successful? No. I have a life that springs surprises on me and they are not always good surprises.

Today, I was trying to get printouts done that I need for the research end of things. I just finished them. I was concentrating so hard on this that I forgot that I had a meeting scheduled for tonight. Fortunately, the meeting was being skyped and I have been working at my computer most of the day.

One of the things that I was sidetracked with today was the booking of flights for a trip in the middle of June. I was able to take advantage of the current seat sale. Another day or two and I would have missed it.

Back to my day. I spent most of the day working on the printouts and they are now completed except for the information from the Facebook group that I want to print out. I even had a call from my brother as he will be travelling with me. We will be meeting in the airport in Toronto, having dinner, then meeting other members of the group that we are travelling with and continuing on to our destination.


Well, I need to do a bit more work before I can go to bed.
