On Our Way!

The long awaited day has arrived...

We are on the road, after a day of packing and making sure we have all our required travel documents.

First stop waiting in Woodstock for the Airbus pickup at 6 PM to Toronto International Airport...

Fast and safe travels with an early arrival at the airport before 7:30 PM ... easy checkin and security check.

Relaxing and enjoying comfortable seating, some nibbles and drinks in the KLM/ Air France Lounge ...
while waiting for our departure time at 10:50PM local time / 4:50AM in France.

If all goes well ... we will arrive in Toulouse 4:25PM tomorrow afternoon after a two hour layover in Amsterdam.

Monsieur Honey  hasn't stopped asking all day ... "Are we there yet?"  

Do you think he is getting excited?

Changing My Front Door

#Frenchdoors#Santiago de Compostela#The Way#walking#birthdaymilestones

My personal odometer is turning over tomorrow ... as I start the next decade in my life!

You know the one that I have talked about quite a bit ... the one that my friend, Madame M. refers to as the "changing of my front door".

All the doors have their own character marks and colours.




I have given much thought to the changing of my personal front door ... and for me it involves being more physically active, my new love of walking and to achieve a personal goal of walking part of the Pilgramage route to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. 

Oh yes, I have made some slight changes to my appearance ... a different hairstyle with some added colour highlights to give me a little sparkle and shine...just like a new coat of paint on your front door.

                                   


And I am happy to say that the walk on "The Way" has been scheduled into our travel itinerary for mid June. 
 


And I am ready to embrace and welcome "The Changing of My Front Door"!

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.
