We can't believe that we're only one night away from our vacation--it's been a busy summer with my parents visiting and then Randy away visiting his relatives in the interior and going fishing. Already September is upon us--not sure where the time went.
I'm pretty much packed but Randy likes to wait until the night before or day of so he can finalize what he wants to take. One of us likes to have lots of clothing choice, the other packs a minimum to travel as light as possible. Can you figure out who is which??!?!! I will admit (though it grieves me to do so), my minimalist approach doesn't always serve me well, . . . I've had to borrow clothes from Randy when I didn't pack enough--something he's only too happy to remind me of :)
My holiday preparation for the trip has focused on two areas:
1) calorie reduction over the past 3-4 weeks so I can eat whatever I want and not feel guilty. My goal is to come back around my regular weight and not have to book two seats on the plane home.
2) a strict shopping moratorium (well, fairly strict for me anyway) the past few months so I can crank up my VISA card if needed. We are going to be in Frankfurt, Milan and Paris afterall. I think I already have a shopping list for Frankfurt am Main Flughafen--knowing this airport like the back of my hand is a curse.
Our biggest dilemma is how many bottles of wine we think we can safely carry back without going over our weight allowance. Lufthansa airlines is pretty strict about baggage weight and after our i heart Deutschland adventure and bringing home 16 bottles which required us to purchase a 3rd suitcase--we're estimating 8-10 bottles split between our two suitcases. We'll have to be pretty selective regarding what we purchase.
One more sleep until lift-off!!!
