Whelmed!

And that's where I'm at right now-I'm whelmed. To avoid getting overwhelmed, I've backed away from the project I was involved in on campus and will now just pay total attention to the trek. I'd say I'm about 85% packed into boxes. The biggest task ahead is getting it all to storage. I've found a great source for the perfect sized boxes and a big shout out to Borders Book Store for that! (Some folks don't like the big box stores but I'm not one of them.) I'm also into a more frugal mode and have decided not to hire anyone to help with that. With the smaller boxes it'll mean more but lighter trips up/down stairs and I'm going to consider it conditioning for what's ahead. My pack is about 30 lbs now. I still have one or two wee items to fit in, too, so I'll need all the fitness I can muster to keep that attached to me for the next 6 months.

Etickets, Eurail & BritRail Passes, few British Pounds to get started are all in hand. Can I just go now?
