10 days until departure

I opened up my Delta SkyMiles account today to look at details of the trip and I saw "10 days until departure." I got butterflies. :o) I am very excited but starting to freak out a little. What am I thinking?!? I keep having dreams that we are in Paris and can't get back to our hotel and the sun is setting. Weird, I know.

 Below is the Nikon camera that I am planning on picking up tomorrow. There is so much to know about cameras!! I have spent my last three nights (not so wise, like I have nothing else to do) researching all-things-camera. I had my heart set on a Nikon D5000, a compromise at only $650 (good deal right?), but when I tried to show Justin, he just laughed at me and walked away. I take that as a no. So I kept on looking and found this little number...

The Nikon Coolpix P500. It is a "bridge" point-and-shoot camera with a 36x optical zoom and 12 MP. I have learned that megapixels are not the stellar measure by which to judge a camera. I actually learned a lot more than that but I'll spare you the details. Either way, this is my new camera. At $349, a match made in heaven.

That's enough of a break for me for now. I need to get back to more important things...Tara asked if I started packing yet (Bahaha! Have we met?). I had fun catching up with Tara and Britt via iphone 3-way this afternoon. Ain't technology grand?? Congratulations on the house Britty (mon petit chou, chou)! Can't wait to see the pictures!
