Go to Iceland

I am so not prepared. Well, not as prepared as I should be or usually am. I normally have many lists already made even if I am going on a trip to another state. I did get my Icelandic Kronos and a passport. That is it. I have to call my credit cards and bank to inform them of my possible overseas usage, I have to call t-mobile to make sure I can use some form of communication via my Blackberry (which I hate and refuse to use under any other circumstance), get my plug converter (which I am getting tonight), buy film for the medium format camera(next week on a lunchbreak), find the charger for the digital camera, wash and pack my clothes, and update my ipod with everything I could want to listen to while away. Oh yeah, and it would be good to get a couple of books for the plane. I will get it all done, I am just tired. I never ever want to plan a trip this far in advance ever again. I have lost my steam. Going out tomorrow to practice my camera skills. I will get it all done. I don’t have a choice.

It is finally sinking in that I will be going that far away by myself. I planned it specifically to go by myself, but lately my anxiety gets much worse when I spend extended periods of time alone in my own head. It will be nice to see something other than buildings. Solitude in Iceland – you can’t ask for anything more peaceful than that. I can’t wait!
