“All my bags are packed I’m ready to go…”
OK, so this is in no way true. But I am ready to go! Mentally. Tomorrow, the brother unit, the father unit, and I embark to London. Yes, I intend to refer to them as such for the duration of the trip.
I just added something to my “to do” list that I had already accomplished earlier this morning. Just so I could feel the satisfaction of having more items crossed off that vindictive little list. That’s just where I’m at right now, folks. There is a lot to take care of between now and 24 hours from now when I will be procured by the father unit and whisked away to the airport. Then it will be a layover in Chicago and large, long hop over the ocean before we arrive in merry old England.
I have been slowly increasing my coffee intake this week to create a caffeine reservoir in preparation for the inevitable jet-lag crash that awaits us in London. It’s an essential time-release caffeine program. Because surely that can be a thing if one’s will is simply willing enough, right? No? Humor me, I beg you.
We will be gone from tomorrow until midway through next week. I will of course be bringing the trusty camera unit and shall take many a merry photo of merry old England. Our game plan is to be at the hotel only when absolutely necessary (read: comatose), so I’m not sure how frequently I will be mentally capable of updating the ol’ A/E blog. But I will do my best to send a few dispatches from abroad!
I will also not be using the fancy phone except for photo/video taking and in cases of emergency. Such as if the entire UK spontaneously runs out of coffee. I shouldn’t even joke about something like that…
Nonetheless, if you need anything in the next week, please send me an email at anya@andphotographers.com. I will only be checking email about once a day or so, but if you have an urgent matter at hand I will do my best to get in touch with you promptly. Otherwise, I’ll plug back in next week!
“So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane”
Be well and happy and adventurous this week, friends.
“Every place I go, I’ll think of you…”
Love and coffee to you,
