Almost Ready for Takeoff: Traveling Light This Time

Just a quick update—my long-awaited trip is finally happening, and most of the preparations are done! I’m really looking forward to it. ?? I might be away from MyLot for the next couple of weeks since I won’t be bringing my laptop with me this time. I heard there are now stricter airport regulations regarding electronic gadgets, and to avoid any hassles, penalties, or additional fees, I’ve decided to travel light. My itinerary is packed and will keep me constantly on the move, so keeping things simple is the best option. I’ll still be bringing my cellphone though, so I might be able to peek in and reply from time to time—if I get a good internet connection and maybe a bit of free time in between stops. Will definitely miss the conversations here, but I’ll try to check in when I can. Safe travels to anyone else heading out, and I’ll catch up with you all soon!

Yes, the last-minute jitters are creeping up on me as always when a long-haul trip is nearing. But thank you for the kind wishes!

@DaddyEvil I suppose those are just the usual rollercoaster of emotions—excitement and nervousness mingling together, like trying to eat spaghetti while wearing a white shirt. Leaving your country and landing in another one feels like jumping into a pool without checking the water temperature—thrilling and terrifying all at once!

@rsa101 You're very welcome. I remember getting nervous before a long trip. That's part of the reason we don't make long trips anymore.

Thank you! The excitement is really kicking in now—just a few more days to go! I’m hoping everything goes smoothly, especially during the long-haul flight. That part always brings a bit of anxiety, but the thought of finally getting on the move keeps the energy high. Fingers crossed for fast connections, light queues, and a stress-free journey ahead!

I’m pretty excited too, though a little nervous about what to expect when I get there. A lot of people are saying it’s not a good idea to go right now because of various reasons, but I’ll find out for sure once I arrive.
