Off We Go!

It’s finally here! We leave for our European adventure tomorrow. I am cautiously venturing out of the TV bubble. I have mixed emotions. I am going to try to do a travel diary, maybe even learn how to “tweet”. A marathon flight gets us to Paris by way of Chicago, Newark, then across the ocean. We have a whirl wind trip planned complete with a Cruise of the Western Mediterranean, I think I should have added a few more days as I may not get to see my dear daughter/friend Claudia, and that will make me beyond sad.

I have been packing, and re-packing trying to guess what the weather will be. The internet says 60’s and it is rainy season. That is the most difficult temperature range to plan for (not too cold but not hot either). I guess I have become too accustomed to my TV daily sunshine. I was watching the rain this afternoon and thinking how rarely we have to endure a whole day of rain like this. The tropical summers usually bring a mid afternoon down pour preceded and followed by blue skies and sunshine. I know we need the rain badly but, I so love to be spoiled by Florida weather.

I will miss you all, friends and neighbors, make sure the boys don’t starve!
