13 days. More like 12 1/2. And I take off for the East Coast. The trip began with a wedding... and grew into an adventure three regions wide. What with the expense of air travel, especially coast to coast during summer, and the fact that I haven't actually visited out that way in almost eight years - it seemed apropos to turn a long weekend in Ithaca into 'an actual' visit.
It's anyone's guess as to what I am truly getting myself into. Visiting my family is always a dangerous option. Hope to be pleasantly surprised. Rollercoaster is fully expected, though. I know better. Moral support may be needed. I think moving around every few days will keep things lighthearted and fun...
A few things I am actually very much looking forward to: time with my little brother in his 'hood, as well as time with my two little nieces, a real Red's game, bowling (I hear that snicker!), a boisterous weekend with the Italians. Another great thing about the two weeks is a break from what the daily grind has become. A breather is much needed. It's a bit insane the way things have been for months. More time for life and maybe an actual day off once a week? Once the bank account gets to where it should be, all will get back to normal. At least, my idea of normal. Making the most of things as that happens.
So... all that said, it should be a blog-worthy two weeks! Pictures and outrageous escapades are bound to follow...
