It hit me last week - I've got 6 weeks left at work, and I take off for my trip in 45 days.
Blimey.
So today has gone by in a flurry of list making, trip planning and figuring out how on earth I'm going to keep everyone informed of my fascinating, witty and scintillating updates.
Hence this blog, which should cunningly update on Facebook too - isn't technology a wonderful thing?
