My Last Night on West Side of the Atlantic (part one)
So tonight is the last night I will spend on this side of the Atlantic until late May 2009.
I’m mostly packed, the pile was surprisingly small when I started putting it into my duffel bag. I wonder what I’m missing?
It’s an odd feeling knowing that after nearly 18 months of planning and worrying I’m almost ready to head out. Not exactly anti-climactic or anything but odd nonetheless.
Winter has finally arrived in Calgary with some wet snow on the ground and temps around 0C. With any luck after I get to Spain on Monday, where the forecast says it will be partly cloudy and 19C, I won’t see snow again till next year some time 
More soon.

My Last Night on West Side of the Atlantic (part two)
Quick crosscheck of the packing discovered a couple of “nice to haves” that were missing so Jayne and I headed out to pick them up. We took the long way home via Bragg Creek. A lovely drive through snowy country in the moonlight.
Once back I repacked the missing items and called my Dad to say bye.
Maggie from the Ship’s Office sent me a map for Palma showing whereabouts the ship is supposed to be berthed on Monday. It looks like it’s a mile or so from my hotel but not too bad. There are a bunch of Webcams you can check out here. Perhaps the ship will show up on Monday.
Tomorrow morning bright and early I have to head to the airport and get this show on the road.
Wish me luck.
Thanks for reading.
