My flight leaves early tomorrow morning. Maryland, then England, then home. I’ll be gone more than two weeks. I have a hundred worries, mostly about England. Did I pack enough clothes? Will I be able to find my way from the airport to where I’m staying? Will the plug adapters work right in England? Am I taking enough money with me? Will my ATM card work? Will they accept my credit card that’s so overused my signature is worn off of the back? Will I know what I’m doing once I’m in the archives? Will the place I’m staying really have a room available for me when I get there? Will I get over the jet lag quickly enough?

Where did I put my passport?

At least I speak the language.
