Travel Worrier

  

 In T minus 4 days I will be back here - England in all its glory.  This trip has been in the works so long, it's hard to believe it's almost here.  I cannot wait! The truth is, even though I have 2 more days of work, I'm pretty much mentally checked out already.  All that's left is to get everyone up to speed on what I do and hit the road.  It really is a lovely feeling.  Mostly because, since I'm not stressing about work, I have time to stress about everything else. 


Currently on the making Kristen crazy list:

~ What if the Tube decides to go on strike early, and it's down the entire time we're in London?  Or what if the entire city shuts down because of the 24 hour strike and we're left stranded without a way to get to Hamlet on Thursday night?

~ Speaking of Hamlet, what if it's terrible?  It is after all, only the second night it will be playing.  What if the whole cast is just wretched?

~ What if the Tube strike or the migrant situation in Calais affects the train we're taking to Brussels?

~  What if, while in Brussels, no one speaks English and what if all the menus are in Flemish?

~ What if 24 hours in York isn't enough time at all and we're very very grumpy about leaving?

~ What if driving on the other side of the road and the other side of the car is too difficult and I wind up careening into a field of sheep?

~ What if my friend decides to rely on me solely for directions and I get us lost never to be seen again in England?

~ What if the clothes I'm bringing won't keep me warm enough for the 66 degree temperatures they're having? Or what if the heat wave comes back and I'm super hot because I've brought clothes for 66 degrees not 96?

~ And most worryingly of all - what if I don't have enough space in my luggage for all the books, chocolate, tea, lace and tea cups I plan to buy?


You see?  Maybe I should have stayed mentally checked into work.  At least then, I'd be worrying about normal problems, rather than the crazy town my head is imagining... : )
