So like, it looks a lot like mumbo jumbo to me. Obviously a few things off the bat are discernible, such as the dates, the airport codes, and even the 24-hour time (which is still tripping me up! I hate my super sub-par math skills!!). But the random numbers, the HK1, the +1 and the trippy asterisks? Those are not so helpful in the quest to understand how I'll be going over an ocean and a continent.
And then I remembered that wonderful, amazing creation called the Internet. Every now and then I take it completely for granted, forgetting that there was a chunk of time when I was young that it wasn't readily available and useful. I mean, you used to have to BUY very specific types of books to understand things, and actually call and talk to travel agents for stuff like this. Thankfully that is not the case anymore! Fodor's had a whole forum thread on it. So using my handy dandy deciphering skills, this is what I've come up with!
There we have it! I'm leaving next Wednesday, the 28th, and will be getting into Tbilisi at 4 am on the 30th, with an 8 hour layover in Warsaw, Poland. I'm really hoping to be able to get out of the airport in Poland and check it out. Plus, it'd be another stamp on the passport, and seeing as how it's woefully empty right now, I really like that notion!
Today, however, will be my last day of lazing around on beaches, joyriding the coast in a boat, picking blueberries on a river plain, or cuddling on the couch with the dog. Tomorrow starts the packing madness, the buying frenzy, and the overall jittery excitement of finally FINALLY going! I'm able to check one suitcase, and have two bags for carry on, so step one is doing a clothing inventory and figuring out what all I have and still need. And then step two is buying stuff I don't have, and figuring out where I can get a Bag of Holding so I can bring a shitload of books and school stuff for the kiddos. Step three is cramming all of the crap I need for an entire year into three bags, two of which are not full size. I'm getting really good at packing, however, and after converting an entire room into three suitcases, I'm confident this should be a relative walk in the park.
I'm sure that in true Andronis procrastination style I will fully photodocument the packing process and then post it all here and write about it in a vain attempt to not ACTUALLY pack. Cause that's the proper adult thing to do!
