Four weeks to go

We are now just four weeks out from departure.  This seems like so little time and I started panicking about how much there was to do in such a short time - then I made a mental list and realised that actually I have done most of it.  So maybe the next four weeks will go quite slowly and allow us to spend time with our children and friends.  Yeah right.  Somehow I expect that these last four weeks will simply disappear in a blur, and while most of me is so excited to be going on this adventure, I am also beginning to realise just how much I will miss the kids.
