I sure wish you lived in my neck of the woods. I could use a pal that is feeling the same way I am right now! I can honestly say that I've done most of the things on your lists and all within the last couple of weeks!
I'm praying you'll get your travel dates very, VERY soon! Sending lots of ((((HUGS)))) your way (and also another pair of pjs)!!
