12 Days to Go!

Another 12 days to go and I'll be off to North Thailand. My kids are quite 'prepared' for my 8 days absence (I think). Tricia already understands that I'll be away for quite awhile and she says it's okay but she'll miss me. She never fails to tell me that I must buy for her some cartoon dvds too. :) As for our almost 2 years old boy, every time I tell him that 'Amma, will be away for 8 days' and 'not to miss Amma so much' , he only manages to nod his head and say "yesh!" with a smile. Hmm.. I wonder if he understood the reality of "Amma' not being around for a long time. He's actually more clingy to me than my Hubby. But I guess the 8 days will have to change all that.

Haay. am I really going or not? Hahaha!! Until now, I'm not yet 100% sure of this trip. Almost everything is prepared now , the booking ( courtesy of Intrepid Travels as my contest prize) , the air tickets and etc. All I need to get is a travel and medical insurance for the duration of the trip. I already found a site online that sells this and they even have term life insurance quotes online . BUT , the traveler ( me!) is not that prepared yet.. It'll be my first time to travel without my family and that is to a different country. My Hubby and family on the other hand were the ones who encouraged me to take this once in a lifetime opportunity and go on a break... hmmm..
