It's an interesting limbo to be in before a trip. You're thinking about all the things you're going to do, and have to complete before you go. But as it gets closer, you start to think beyond the trip, to your return. I've always called this phenomena travel projection - you project the trip before you go and then when your on the trip, you're projecting your return.
This trip, in particular, my goal is to be ever present in the moment. Not thinking about the before, or the what's to come, but being in the moment, that moment.
Then there's the "advice" from others about what to bring, or not to bring. I'm working exceptionally hard on minimizing my travel items. We are doing lots of movement and that means lots of schlepping. I want to be able to be flexible and facile with handling my things (particularly that last stay where our place is up 3 flights of stairs). And I want to feel good, and have energy and paint and enjoy my family and immerse myself in each location.
It's what I put on my vision board at the beginning of the year "the best way to visualize is to touch, hear and taste it." Something to be cognizant of on our trip for sure.
