One Month Out!

Now...now is when I start making lists

and when the craziness of one side of my brain

steps up to the plate

the bases are definitely loaded

the crowds are on their feet...

 

Oh right...I am blogging about traveling

not my favorite sport

but I am not well know for staying on point

which is why I must now

state a list of things I can fit into a

21x13x9

carry on suitcase.

 

Crazy, I know

I can take 2 fifty pound suitcases

and I actually had the zipper fixed on my

favorite suitcase

but Lewis kept talking about

carry on only...easier he said

We CAN do this he said.

 

And you know what...

I think we can

I know Paris - the city of love and lights

where we will be reenacting every

great movie that used the background of Paris

whether for love or espionage

We are doing Paris.

 

So...there comes the list

then the fine art of packing a week

into a small little suitcase

and a backpack.

I will be downloading good books

for the long journey to final destination.

 

List:

Be amazed at the whole of life

Enjoy every moment

Laugh at the problems that will solve themselves

Converse with strangers

Eat as small cafes

Absorb the beauty of the art

Spend a day in the park

Smile because your apartment was a palace

Bring home chocolate

Buy something that makes you smile

Take off the restrictions

Fall in love

with everything, everyone and the man next to you

Life is beautiful.
