- Passport, with photo taken when I was 21, blonde and hungover, that bears absolutely no resemblance to what I look like now – CHECK.
- Ambitiously small bag in which I plan to expertly pack everything I will need (and at least five kilos of junk I won’t need) for the next six weeks – CHECK.
- A medicore recollection of high school French that I plan to whip out in Montreal and dazzle local Francophiles with – CHECK.
- An intimate knowledge of everything you could ever need to know about American culture, gained exclusively from a diet of Donahue, Oprah, Ricki Lake and Jerry Springer – CHECK.
- Unrealistic expectations of my own abilities to drive on the wrong (yes it is wrong, and we’re right) side of the road – and read maps for that matter – CHECK.
- Burning desire to experience the new – CHECK.
So I think that’s pretty much everything – one day of work to go. YIPPPEEEE!
