The island formerly known as Ceylon

Preparations for making a quick getaway are in full swing here today.

Let's just say that I'm an anxious traveller, so I'm double and triple checking everything.

I'm annoying myself, and can't wait until we're out the door tomorrow morning.

We'll be flying over the Indian Ocean to the beautiful island of Sri Lanka for a couple of weeks.

I'm looking forward to perhaps learning to drink their most famous export, Ceylon tea, and enjoying the lush tea garden landscapes. There's bound to be some curry, and some heat, some good old fashioned sight seeing, and some time just catching up on some reading by a beach.

I feel better already!
