Departure Day - we are leaving for CT this afternoon to be ready for our flight out of JFK tomorrow morning. We have our bags packed (or at least I have my bags packed and I hope the students are in the same category.) Said my goodbye this morning and not too many tears showed...

Always weird to think that I won't be back into my own bed for 2.5 weeks and we will miss the peak foliage season in VT this fall. At this point in travel, it seems like so long until that return, but from my experiences the time flies by and seems to go in a blink.
