Thread: Veendam September 24, 2006 out of Vancouver

I'm hoping you get the Penthouse Lisa!!!

4 weeks from tomorrow we fly to Roma!!!

Just 3 weeks from right now we will have just landed in the Vancouver airport I know I am really going to be needing this vacation. I have already been stress out at work and now I have found out that we are having (what I call)one of our Circus Sales starting the 18th of this month thru the 23rd. We leave on the 23rd 75% of what they do has to go thru me. They just decided to do this last week, long after we made final payment. I will just have to complete as much as I can before I leave and the rest will just have to pile up till I return on the 29th. I have been very upset ever since I found out. It also means that those days leading up to before we leave I will have to work many, many hours and be lucky to get home early enough on Friday to pack. Good think this is only a 5 day trip. I think I will definitely plan to go to the spa and have a verrry long massage.

Oh Lisa,
That is really too bad. Gosh knows you will be ready for the trip when it gets here. Is there anyway you can do at least part of your packing the weekend before?? I know I have 'travel size' items I only use when travelling and it's unlikely you will need the fancy dudes that week either, anything to reduce your stress.

Oh Lisa

So sorry to hear what all is happening!!

Don't get too stressed out. Joe had a stroke in 1997 from working many, many hours, being stressed out, and getting only 4 - 5 hours sleep at night, 6 and 7 nights a week.

Think of yourself first!!

I love seeing countdown clocks get to single digits. Although the time is a bit off But since we do leave the day before Sail Away it is actually less time than that before we get to Vancouver

Yep, it's great to know that the time is even shorter that the clock says! We actually have 9 days till we fly to Rome, and it says 13!

We are now at the part of the count down that we start to say things like "One week from right now we will be at dinner for the first evening, enjoying a great meal with a nice cold bottle of champagne":
