Ready to travel!

I'm so excited, I am going "across the pond" in a few weeks.  This will be my first trip out of the country (that cruise to the Caribbean Islands doesn't count).  So many things to do!  Have to get a passport.  How did I make it to 50 without ever going anywhere that needed a passport?  Not looking forward to a 10 hour flight, certainly not looking forward to flying home by myself, but definitely looking forward to discovering a new land, new customs, new adventures.  I can't wait!
