Things to look forward to when leaving the country

• Pack your crap up...a.k.a. life
• Stare at the suitcase that is supposed to hold a years worth of stuff...the thing is, I'm a girl
• Eat a lot - many, many yummy goodbye meals
• Freedom to eat what the hell ya want...cause you'll be on a "Mediteranean diet" soon enough
• Have a Going Away Party...was I there for that? I seem to recall tongue kissing a gay man and pictures revealed I kissed a girl...
• Say goodbye to everyone...even to people you have never said hello to
• Receive beautiful going away gifts and sentiments
• Ya get to pull the "...but I'm only going to be in the country for a few more days" card
• Freedom to speak your mind...cause your only gonna be in the country for a few more days
• Flings, maybe even a few flungs
• Go see a Broadway show...cause it's just something you should do
• Eat more with friends & drink more with friends...family are "friends" too
• Stress over your suitcase some more
• Pack your suitcase and than repack it
• Meet your 8 hugs a day quota
• Cry a little
• Laugh a lot
• Celebrate some more
• Leave
