Everything packed, water in every room, doors propped open, bed made for Tunch, remembered to bring all the electronics cords, have the books for the flight, Ipod is charged, and I am off.
Maybe I will take some pics and we can play Where in the World is John Cole? At any rate, for now, I am hiding, like this fellow:

That fellow looks like my girl KC at work. She has the run of the place and we find her in the oddest places.
Happy trails and a safe journey, John.

Safe journey John. Have fun.
I’ll venture a pre-clue guess for Costa Rica.

Bob in Pacifica lets us know that he’s a furry, not gay. (Hey, have you seen the Nate Silver thread yet?)

John, as much as you travel these days, I might suggest:
1. you get a girlfriend to keep Tunch company while you are gone, or
2. you find a good foster family for him and ask for visitation rights. You leave that cat alone FAR too much.
P.S. – This is not to piss you off, or to be taken disparagingly, I’m only thinking of poor Tunch.

Yes, I just hope Tunch doesn’t end up stuck in a bedroom.

John, where are you going and why?
I keep reading that you’re off on one trip, returning from another but haven’t caught what all these trips are about?
Are you now an international man of mystery? ;)

Can we assume that you are not flying on your own private jet?

Hope you’re not getting there in a Yugo! : )
Safe travels — and come back and blog soon.
And good luck to Tunch and your furniture.

J., I can remember when my ex sister-in-law had a Yugo and that was 22 years ago. I"m amazed they’ve only managed to manufacture about 100,000 of them in 22 years? Sounds like that business should have been scrapped long ago.

I hope you’re planning on getting us all something when you come back? I’d like a Huckabee blow up doll. What for? NOYFB!

They only sold 100K in the US, during a relatively short period of time. They probably sold millions in Eastern Europe.
Hope your sister held onto her Yugo. It could now be a collector’s item (and worth more than she paid for it)!

"Oh my God! I forgot to put on my pants this morning!"
Not really. But whenever I pay too much attention to whether I have everything I need, there’s always something important I’ve forgotten. (Come to think of it, that happens when I’m not paying attention, too…)
Have a good trip!

@J.:
Not as many in Eastern Europe I think, except for Yugoslavia itself. Most of the Eastbloc countries had their own auto industry and they didn’t seem to export many to their neighbors. The ones that didn’t have a car industry themselves imported Lada’s from the Soviet Union. I travelled through Eastern Europe in the early nineties and remember a distinct mono-culture of cars in each country, interspersed with the odd Mercedes or BMW.

Where is John going? Is it a secret?
I want to knooooooooooooow…

John needs to vacuum.
Have a safe trip!

There. Now I’ve really scared the cat.

LOL. Not that there would be anything wrong with that.
John, the other day someone sent you a picture of their hamster. Why don’t you post it? Are you an anti-rodentite?
