Leaving on a Jet Plane... Hahah... I accidentally wrote Jew Plane

My bags are not packed and I'm nowhere near ready to go. In fact I'm still waiting for my itinerary from the travel agent. But at least I have a date for when I will be going to Israel- YAY!!!
It is bittersweet though. On the one hand I'm thrilled to go to Israel- I mean who wouldn't be? (ok so I know there are a lot of people who wouldn't be thrilled as I have to deal with daily in my advocacy position but right now I don't really care about them b/c I AM GOING TO ISRAEL!!!). So I'm going to be there for 2 months- YIPEE!!!- alright I might die of heat stroke, there might be war (though I'm praying there won't be, and not just b/c I'll be there) but I'm going to see my friends and family and spend 2 months in a country I love being in. Wow I'm excited. On the other hand, it means not seeing the BF for 2 whole months; which I wouldn't see him if I stayed in Toronto b/c he's going to camp in BC, but at least it's only 3 hours, as opposed to 10 hrs difference, and well, I could possible visit if I felt the urge. Not a possibility while in Israel. Because I'm the Queen of Repression and Denial the distance, separation and those other lovely fears have not truly seeped into my consciousness, well my aware consciousness that is. Though the other day I was thinking about him and got really sad and realized that perhaps I'm not doing such a great job anymore. I'll miss you so much!
