I can't believe the day has FINALLY come...

It's been 6 weeks... 8?
I had no valid passport (It was 5 years expired!)
I wondered if I could leave the children and who would care for them...

It seemed sooooooooo long ago when I opened up that email from Veronika Miller, founder of Modenus, that hot, sticky July evening... I didn' believe my eyes... I had to read and re-read...
I... lil ol' me... invited to BlogTour London 2013... I was practically in tears... I'm still practically in tears!
I'll miss my babies
I'm so stinkin' excited that this verbose writer is at a loss for words!
A few minor glitches and sick kids along the way...
Yesterday I noticed that my passport name and ticket names were different. Virgin Airlines says both names must match! Mad dash at 5:00 EST time to find Veronika and fix the small issue at hand... Panic... craziness... more panic ensued... by me...
But calmness met me on the other end and a new ticket was issued.
And then last minute business card FIASCO. But Staples to the RESCUE. I love you Staples. LOVE...
I now have valid ticket and passport and boarding pass... AND business cards...
I think I have everything.
Including umbrella.
And cute shoes.
And sensible shoes... sorta.
I need a valium...
ok -

Here goes...

wish me Bon Voyage!

XOXO,
