.............and off she goes again!

Tomorrow I leave for yet ANOTHER trip! I'm heading off Down Under to the glorious land of New Zea :-)

Even though I have had plenty of time to prepare for this trip do you think I'm anywhere near ready? I'm packed but have lots to do around the house to make it livable for the people I'm leaving behind even though it will be a complete tip when I get back.

Yesterday while out at dinner I broke a tooth. It hurts.

I tried to call my dentist and when I got voice-mail that told me to "hit 5 if this is an emergency" I HIT 5 and was THEN told that I had pressed an incorrect number. You can clearly see how my pain level increased!

I searched the internet for emergency dentists but it turns out that you will only be seen on an emergency basis if you are already a client. Thus I have been in complete pain, agony, misery, torment and tenderness the whole weekend.

I am leaving for the airport tomorrow morning at 10:30 am and will be at the dentist as soon as they open to get this mess fixed.

I am excited for this trip. I will be amongst the first in the world to celebrate New Years Eve, I will get to meet my niece for the first time, I will be traveling around and sightseeing and taking pictures and I will get to see my brothers again.

Oh, and did I mention that it is Summer over there? Oh yes!

I may post before I return but until then.......

Ta-raaaaaaaaaaaa !

I know it's not an ideal solution, but you could always try for an emergency dentist once you hit NZ if you don't end up finding one over there. We have dentists here dedicated to emergency cases only and you can usually get a same day appointment. Not too expensive here either.

Just thought I'd let you know, just in case!
