last minute flurries

The phone and DSL went out. The ATM folks expediated the card but snail mailed the PIN. Will the Chineses adapter be enough or do I need a transformer? Give up the plan to take the lap top. Lists turn into piles spread on the bed - too much for one suitcase!

The phase of the experience that is planned on paper is almost over and the reality of unknown begins. This is the adventure I have been thinking about for a year, worked diligently with everyone from the bank to the Chinese cousulate to accomplish. And now - all I have to do is get on the plane - tomorrow.

From the Ballad of the Hobbit:
The greatest adventure is what lies ahead.
Today and tomorrow are yet to be said.
The chances, the changes are all yours to make.
The mold of your life is in your hands to break.

If you are reading this, a small prayer would make a big difference!
