Huh?...

In 1968 June Carter and Johnny Cash released the song called "Jackson". The song is all about how they plan to go to Jackson (no duh Sherlock!), well that is just what dad and I are doing- we're going to Jackson (Hole) although not for the same reasons as June and John (that would be really sick...)!
I have heard from a third party that June and John were singing about a different Jackson but I have decided to overlook that, so ok, we're not "just like" June and John but, damn, it's a cool sounding blog title if I don't say so myself.

In our very exciting trip we will be leaving Sydney on the 29th of December for a city I love- San Francisco (San Fran to those in the know ;P). We'll spend 3 nights there and then drive to Yosemite, an apparently "amazing" (quote- parents) national park. There for 3 nights also, then back to San Fran for a night before we head to... you guessed it- Jackson Hole Ski Resort, Wyoming in the US of A. 2 weeks of OMG skiing and scenery before we return home.

Can't wait! Hope you enjoy reading about it as much as I'm going to LOVE experiencing it...

And so it begins...

Today is the big day!!!!!!
How do I know this? Because we have the usual signs of Big-Day-itis and they are as follows:
  • Dad is pacing... a lot.
  • He is also debating with himself over how early is too early to get to the airport. He seems to be pretty close to deciding on 4 hours before the flight. A good 2 hours earlier than suggested by the airline.
  • He is constantly asking me what he has forgotten- how am I meant to know????
  • As suggested by the previous points- all sense of logic has left us.
  • I am debating which top would be best to wear on the flight and whether I should be wearing my jeans yet (not in this humidity thank you!)
  • Dad is checking the snow-cams every 5 minutes (I'm surprised he hasn't poked me off the computer yet!), as if they are going to have a 30 inch dump in the 5 minutes since he last checked.
  • I have that incredibly cheesy grin plastered on my face
These are all the symptoms right now, surely more are to follow. For example, dad hasn't started doing that thing he always does where he makes random odd sounds because of nerves.
Only path of treatment- GET ON THAT PLANE!!!!
So we sit here not so patiently waiting. Dad is very impatient- he just suggested we go to the airport. It's quarter past 8 in the morning. Our flight is at half past 3 in the afternoon.
I laughed. As crazy as it all sounds this lead-up is kind of fun for me, although not as much fun as the actual trip is.
And so it begins!!!!!
