Attend to the material needs for your trip at the beginning of the week, making sure you have everything you need and lodgings lined up. At the same time, resist going overboard with the shopping; the stars say you're likely to end up with stuff that looks shiny now but not so super later. Expression and exploration are bywords for Thursday and Friday, and those you encounter respond well to you. If you contract a touch of homesickness this weekend, send an update on your travels and you'll feel better.
