Still very much a newbe in compared to most on here but 6th trip coming up in 2 years and have 74 more sleeps until I am on that plane!! Its an overnite flight so I don't count that nite....sooooo excited. I get excited once the plane ticket is booked which is done when I return from that last trip. I will be packed a month before I go with the bags sitting at the door a week before my ride comes to take me to the airport.
