Getting Out

Filed under: Travel — gardener @ 4:54 am

Marcel will be home from work in an hour, which means I’m going to have to get a move on if I plan to go out with the dog, and have a bath along with washing my hair before he gets here. I’m getting out today for the first time in almost a week and I have to say that I’m ready. I’ve had a pretty nasty cold and ear infection and I’ve been staying inside in hopes of getting rid of it before we fly, and it looks like I may make it.

Just three more nights of sleep and then we’re off! I’m SO ready. Please say a prayer that our luggage arrives safely (and on time), plus that all of our flights are on time and without problems.

Rolling Calorie Explosion

This morning I finished packing my carry on and I have to say that if you could see the inside that most people would probably gasp. It’s filled with specialty chocolates and cookies- all things that everyone back home love about the area in which we live. Mom said that we’d need to know what is three best diet pill on the market if we ate all the goodies in that carry on, and she’s right. It’s literally a rolling carry on of about 30,000 calories, which is about 8 1/2 pounds. It’s a good thing it’s not all going to one person.

Cookie Monster

Yesterday Marcel went to the Friday market to pick up these little specialty cookies that everyone at home absolutely drools over. Our area is the only place that sells them, so when he bought six bags of them, the guy commented that it looked like Marcel was going to have a party. Marcel laughed and explained to him that these cookies were famous outside of our area and that we were taking them with us on vacation. He laughed and said, “Yeah, right.” Marcel was serious and told him so. He was amazed and then handed Marcel two new specialty cookies. Very large heart shaped cookies with one half dipped in chocolate. We’re taking one home with us but the other we shared. I think it’s better than the originals- and I didn’t think that was possible.
