Aww, Nat, it will be just fine. I was scared to death when I first started travelling, too. I'd have these horrible stress dreams about all the things that could go horribly wrong...but they never happened. You'll do great and the cats are going to a wonderful home. (Unless sharky's spent years and years doing all that research on cat health just so she could fool us all and lure you in...seems like a lot of effort, though.
)

Try to relax and enjoy the trip. Sending you loads of calming vibes.

I used to love flying until the airlines cut back on everything. Seriously, that is the worst part of it. I always think of the exciting places I am going to.

My mind in overdrive is thinking in a most unlogical manner.


I'm trying to pack lightly, so it all fits in one suitcase, & am being most unsuccessful!


We leave in 14 hours...... am I'm still really paranoid.

I'll be thinking of all of you, and I'm sure it will be just fine.

The key to relaxing on an airplane a bit is bringing earplugs with you, an ipod or music player of some sort and several of your favorite magazines!!!
It makes the whole thing go by much easier!


Good luck and have a safe light Natalie!!!
You are doing such a wonderful thing for those lucky little kitties! Jen is going to give them such a wonderful home!!!
Congrats on your new soon to be additiongs Jen!!!!!

Maybe we should send vibes that PJ and Punky raise such a ruckus during the trip that you'll have no time to be nervous, just nervewracked by their wails?

Oh please don't....being the boys they are, I know they'll raise all heck!


sharky has internet access, so I'll hopefully be able to pop on or have her pop on to let you guys know we all made it OK. I have to text like a zillion people when I get there so they know I'm safe....I have like 3 mothers here worrying about me.

Nat, that butterfly
convention in your stomach is the pits, isn't it! All will be well. Nothing untoward can possibly happen with all the that are gathering to support you -- and they reproduce like rabbits, you know.


And you, my dear, are stronger than your fears.

It'll be over soon.


Just focus on how great it will be for Da Boyz to be in their furrever home. Also, on what a life expanding experience it will be for you!

I know you'll have a great trip. We'll all be waiting on pins and needles for your report when you return!

Try to get a good nights sleep. Sending you for a very uneventful trip. DaBoyz are in for quite an adventure, and will probably be little angels. Usually what ever you worry about the most, will be the one thing that turns out the easiest.

I'll be flying.
I'll be letting PJ & Punky go.

The person going with me will flip if I start crying, so I have to try to be strong!
(That will never work)
I definitely couldn't do it without crying. But then again, nothing would make me give up those 2 sweethearts in a million years so I would never be in your situation. I hope everything goes well.
