Not long to go.....

Only 6 more sleeps and I'll be on my way to LA.

Big excitement this week with the news that our library contact in Baltimore is trying to get a meeting with John Waters, at the very lest she can get me an autographed photo and we'll drive by his house (she lives in the same street) plus one of the writers for The Wire lives around the corner from her and he's happy to have a chat!!

I know, I know, it kinda sounds a little bit like stalking but its all done with the best of intentions!!!

Two weeks to go

Well its two weeks to go and I'm very excited. Haven't packed yet but I'm putting together a list in my mind. I think I have everything organised and I'm very please I got my ANZ travel card when the dollar was at 93 cents!

Here's the link to the itinerary

Baltimore

The flights are now confirmed and our apartment in New York is also confirmed. I'll be looking forward to having a room of my own after sharing with Genimaree for three weeks!!

AKA Times Square Apartments

The biggest excitement so far is the proposed side trip to Baltimore for a day. Being a massive fan of The Wire and Homicide Life on the Street as well as film maker John Waters, its a dream come true.

Almost organised

It's now four months until we depart. The flights are organised and the accommodation for the extra week in New York is almost set. I've joined ALA so that I can say I'm one of the American's when I go to the conference plus I get a cheaper deal for the conference.

The big question now is what to pack? I always over pack and I'm determined not to do it this time. Does anyone have any tips.

Great Library Tour of USA

Well, I've signed up for another slightly intrepid trip, this time to the USA in June/July this year and I can't wait to go.

We'll be visiting lots of libraries and attending the ALA conference in Washington, along with 20,000 other librarians!

I'll keep you updated as plans progress.

More things

I've added a facebook page for the library and updated twitter. I'm over the facebook addiction but then I find something new!!

Things 24-48 are now here on library 2.1....will it ever end?

Time flies

Suddenly it's a month and a half since I last posted...where did the time go?? The family is now getting ready fro the big G party on Saturday night in Paynseville for George's 80th. I've decided to go as a gypsy!!! Fortune telling and all. Should be fun.
There have been lots of social evnets as usual and lots more to come. Movies on Monday night, the LGPro conference dinner on Thursday night, off to Paynseville on Friday, Tramcar Restaurant Thursday week for dad's official birthday and then Kerryn's farewell and Intrepid Librarian on the Friday night followed by dad's second party!!!
