♫ On a Jet Plane! ♫

It hasn't been easy and things have really come down to the wire, but I think I'm pretty much ready to take off tomorrow for the Big Apple and the big big New York Chocolate Show. Got my stuff all packed up and my lists of places I want to see all put together and all my maps mapped and my house-sitter all ready to sit my house and.... I think I'm really pretty much ready. Got a couple of things to take care of in the morning and then I hare off to the airport and take off. I'm a little disappointed that I'll only get one day at the chocolate show, but you can't have everything and I plan on making up for it in inventive ways.

A large chunk of the trip is taken up by the training class, but there is a lot of time around the class that I can make use of and I have plans on hitting around ten different chocolatiers as well as some other interesting places over the course of the week. My camera is kind of on it's last legs right now, but I'm going to try and coax it into taking some pictures along the way. It should be a good time.

Now I plan to get a good night's sleep, rise nice and early, and get myself to New York.
