I leave Monday for the two day road trip to Charleston, SC, for the PubSmart Conference. I hope the time, effort, new clothes, shoes, hotel rooms and meals will be rewarded with an amazing event. Hopes and fears are high.

The car has been checked out for trip-worthiness. The healthy, low-cal snacks and bottled water are bought and ready for car-feasting.

Leaving my husband, home, dogs and cat is painful already, before I've even left town. Losing my Passover holiday is equally painful.

So here's the thing. I'm gonna keep everyone posted on my progress and what the conference ultimately offers me.

Stay tuned.

I packed the suitcase. I put things in the car. I found a halfway point and a hotel there. I leave in the morning.

The car is topped off with gasoline. Hoagies for dinner remove the whole last-evening-cooking and clean-up thing.

My two don't-forget lists are almost complete.

I'll have my cellphone with me, but in my age bracket, there is still a need to say goodbye to friends and family. It wouldn't have felt right to ignore that long-standing custom. I'll be leaving home with everyone's well-wishes. They'll all miss me, and it doesn't get warmer or fuzzier than that.

I'll miss them, too.
