Excited

#booking.com#tossademar#Hoteldiana#France#Spain#Postcards

This morning in my inbox I received a personalized message.

The website booking.com that I used to book most of our accommodations wrote to me ...

"It's time to get excited about your trip to Tossa de Mar!"


So reality is sinking in ... yes I am getting excited and I am almost packed.

Not long now we will be enjoying the views of the Mediterranean, I will be exploring a new country and Monsieur Honey will be having a memory tour of his time (50 some years ago) in Tossa de Mar.

Hopefully, we will find time to relax on the beach and locate a café or two where we can sip a cold glass of sangria and enjoy nibbling some tapas.

Stay tuned ... I will be writing and sending lots of "Postcards" with colourful photos of our adventures in France and Spain.

A Busy Week!

#packing#CostaBrava#Toulouse

This time next week we will have hopefully arrived safely in Toulouse and be sound asleep ...getting a good night's rest before our journey to the Costa Brava in Spain.




It is hard to believe that the time to depart is almost here.

This week will be busy with not only my many appointments such as a day of pampering for my hair, a manicure and pedicure, a dental checkup plus Monsiuer Honey has to visit his coiffure for a much needed haircut and of course the last minute to do lists and visits with family and friends.

Today the frenzy started ...  the planning and packing of my luggage!

My living room is a mess with clothes, toiletries, odds 'n' sods thrown all over the sofa and coffee table and occasionally a few items making their way into the suitcase.

Monsiuer Honey is responsible for his own packing and usually can have himself ready to go in short order! Men!

Busy, busy, busy!

Last year this time we were already settled into the daily routine of our "French" life in Dégagnac, France.
 

Soon we will be ready to go!

Getting Ready...

Do you think I should start to plan my packing?

Not long now before we will be on our next adventure and normally I would have the spare room bed covered in piles of stuff ... 

Stuff is clothing, shoes, toiletries, travel necessities ...camera, iPad, iPod, ereaders, converters and any thing else that I think we might need. 

Oh yes and I can't forget the travel documents, passports, airline tickets, hotel reservation confirmations, etc.

But as of today the bed is empty ... I haven't even started!
