Vacation: At Last

It seems so long ago that we made our plans for this summer. We had just returned from Palm Springs (or, as I like to call it, Heaven on Earth). Cold, snowy, and we couldn't wait for summer. Since climate rules our choices of vacation spots, we decided to look into Lake Tahoe. I knew that Leonard and Jeanne go there frequently, and I knew it had a dry summer climate. Philip called Interval International and after a couple of weeks we were booked. We had hoped for a Marriott resort, but the more time that passed the more I realized we weren't getting in to either of the Marriotts there. So we made a reservation at David Walley's, which looks quite nice.
So now it's a little more than one day before we leave. We'll pack tonight, which is always more dramatic than it needs to be. Philip is so good about knowing exactly what we should take, and I'm always worried I won't have the right clothing or enough clothing. We manage to keep the content of the suitcase down to a manageable amount. After the clothes are packed I'll run around worrying about anything I might have forgotten. Of course Philip keeps reminding me that wherever we go there are stores where things can be purchased. As long as we have all his medications, and I remember to leave a check for the pet sitter, we're ok.
Yet another example of my perfect timing: I came down with a nasty sore throat on Sunday, and it's not getting appreciably better. It's difficult to sleep, so I'm overtired as well. Luckily we don't have to change planes on the way to Reno, so maybe I can relax and get some sleep. I know just being away will make whatever it is go away! Soon I'll be looking at mountains and the beautiful Lake Tahoe, and Philip will be breathing dry, clean air.
We have decided not to bring the laptop with us (this is supposed to be a vacation), so this will likely be my last entry until we get back. Bon Voyage!
