I'm writing this post as a way of avoiding something that I hate. Packing. We leave for the Marseille Airport in about 4 1/2 hours, for our wonderful weeklong vacation in Austria.
I've been looking forward to the trip for a couple of months now. There are so many places that we're going to visit and things to do. (For example, Alain reserved us tickets to a Strauss concert - the orchestra will be playing his waltzes!
And there is CeeCee's apartments in the Palace, Motzart's birthplace, the Cemetary - and the art galleries and museums.
The trip itself is going to be wonderful, it's just the packing part I hate. It's an old habit, I think, this hating to pack. Some of it is just laziness, hating to try and fold everything into perfect little packages to avoid the wrinkles - which never works and you always have to get an iron anyway. And some of it is not knowing exactly how to do it - I know, interlock the pieces, use tissue paper between each item - but what exactly does that mean? How much tissue paper? Is it like wrapping a present? Laying a napkin down? Oh well. The trip itself is what I'm going to focus on and the new adventure with the man I love. The rest of it is the "small stuff" which I've decided I'm not going to let bother me. At least for tonight.
If our hotel has internet access, I'll try to blog a few times to share the trip with you.
If not, I'll fill you in when I get back!
In the meantime, it's time to take the bull by the horns and go see if I can get everything to fit into the suitcase!
