One day and counting...

Today was my last in Philly: a fun combination of packing, cleaning out the refrigerator, and double checking all my plugs and wires. A multiple tractor trailer accident on 1-95 made my journey longer than needed, but I did eventually get home to my kitties. I will miss them SO much (there were no kitties to miss on my first soujourn). So I'm all packed and ready to go, except for a last minute check to make sure I absolutely need everything in my bag. I called Cathay Pacific to reserve my vegetarian meals for the 15 hour 30 minute flight from LA to Hong Kong. I'll leave BWI at 6:30 am on Thursday morning and arrive in Hong Kong at 7 pm on Friday. Since I'm arriving at night, I decided to reserve my lodging in advance, which was easily accomplished on hostels.com. Just amazing.

One of my last projects before leaving was finishing Avery's sweater. This is the same pattern I made for Rowen, just larger and in more feminine colors, using DB cashmerino DK yarn. I have promised everyone that I will not take my knitting on the trip!! Well, at least not until I'm confronted with all that wonderful yarn in NZ :)
