How Many More Days.....

Today was another early morning practice session for Janet.  She was little noisy on her departure, which cost the towel boy (me) to lose some shut eye.  Oh well… it is what we support folks in the trenches have to deal with as we prepare our athlete for a competition.   

Tension is now building because we are now 6 days and a wake up until our departure and we return to Island Time.  How many shorts should I take?  I think one… no, no, no two pairs of flip-flops for the week – just in case!  Do I really need a second ball cap?  Decisions… Decisions… Sooooooooo hard!

Checklist for Tom:

Plane Tickets - Check

Passport - Check (in case we slip over to the BVI)

Uhhhhh - I think that covers it for me!

 
There is a very busy weekend forecasted for our household, so next Wednesday and our departure will be upon us in no time flat.  But we knew this day would come.  I know I said that Janet has wanted to do this event for quite sometime, but as proof I offer this shot.  Janet had me take a picture of the sign as a reminder on our last few visits!  2009 and 2008 definetly, and in fact I may even have one from a 2004 trip.  Not really, but I did take the pictures on my own free will - why I am not sure.

By now I am sure you have noticed that I have taken a plethora of pictures of Janet swimming in St John.  Well let me tell you she is pumped and ready to get to that island and begin warming up in the blue water.  A 9 year goal for Janet is now 10 days away from being a reality.

For me, I am driven to get the best seat on the island to watch the finish.  That would be the tire on Gibney Beach.  Perfect location to watch the final stretch.  I wonder when I will have to get there to claim the tire.  Man do I have some pressure on me!  Well if I get the tire - I am in the shade and do not have to wear any of that goopy stuff.  And that makes me the winner!
