OK, here we go, I am beginning the 60 day countdown to my Turkey trip today. In just 2 months I will be heading off to the hustle and bustle of Istanbul and the otherworldly landscape of Cappodocia capped off with a "toe dunking" in the blue Aegean Sea.
I am ready to go now if truth be told. And like last year with my trip to Central Europe the pre-trip office coordination is going to drive me over the edge. I can already see that there are going to be work issues that arise just prior to my departure. However, I am going to try my best to have loose ends tied up so that I can leave with an easy feeling. It all worked out last year when I was gone for four weeks, so it should work just as smoothly this year when I will be out of the office for only 3 weeks...but I know myself well, and will be a big ball of stress right up until the last minute.
Luckily by tending to all the trip details, final confirmations and my suitcase packing rituals, I should be able to calm down. Interesting how the act of preparing for a trip has a calming effect on my work/office related anxiety!
Turkey here I come! :)
