Plans and plan adjustments

Hey there and HAPPY SATURDAY to you!

While I don't have a terribly very busy weekend,
I do have a TON of things to do in order to prep for our upcoming trip. And that includes the mountain of laundry as well as getting packed!

Packing for this trip isn't going to be a walk in the park by any means. There are so many flavors to this trip that I'm already worried that our luggage will be quite over weight!

As you know, we are heading to NYC in 6 days. Our time there will mostly be spent shared with family/friends as well as of course going to Yankee Stadium to go watch a game.

After that my gang is moving onward to London...

Tea time and the Yankees are my motivation for this trip! LOL
Yes the Yankees will be in London and they will be playing their long time rivals the Boston Red Sox. Fun right?!

Well as of last night there was a bit of a HICCUP regarding this portion of the trip - Dave B. had to cancel. While I totally understand...
...Hmm - let me change that to "I want to understand."

          I HATE LAST MINUTE CHANGES!!

And since the kids and I are leaving in under a week - this is definitely considered LAST MINUTE.

I now have to go back into the plans to make some changes and adjustments. UGH

Hopefully I can squeeze the time in to do this over the the next couple of days. 

After London is Sicily - which has also changed from the original plans - but not at the last minute thank heavens!

Then after Sicily is Cleveland for the MLB All-Star Game!!
*Hopefully there are no changes to this portion of the trip. HA

Well it seems as though I've already lost a good deal of time this morning had must be on my way out the door. I'll be back in a few hours and must get down to business!!

For now please enjoy a few fun pics from a surprise run-into at our local grocery store...

Gotta run,
