When? That is the question

I want to be ready to go at the drop of a hat. I've shopped, we have our Visa's, I've ordered the crisp 100's, all the luggage is out, I have lists, a first aid kit, instruction sheet for Ruth and am just plain ready to go. Getting the dogs boarded quickly might be difficult. It could be wishful thinking, but I have a feeling that we could be leaving in early August.

But I may still have some lessons in patience and trust to learn. So, what am I going to do for 2 -4 weeks while I wait.
