Today is major prep day. That’s laundry and tidying up the place so when we return, we can explode our travel stuff all about. Most of the fridge is emptied out. I’ve made a checklist of things to do before shutting the front door as we set off for the trip. Things like watering the plants, feeding Marco and Gina (I’m gonna miss them!), and deleting reruns off the DVR so they don’t take up precious memory space! In my paranoid state of fear of forgetting something critical, I woke up twice last night to grab random things to pack – telephoto lens, contact lenses, and extra memory cards. I guess I don’t want to miss any Kodak moments while there.
I still have to do some major packing. Because of the varying weather conditions in the three destinations (cool and rainy in Paris – mild and warm in Venice – possibly hot in Rome), I feel like I have to pack more options. Something to consider for future vacations. Try to stay in the same latitude.
And the language thing. I’ve decided I need to learn a few bare bones phrases in both languages. Parlez vouz Francais? Merci. See voo play. (I can’t spell the crazy French language. They like to cut off random letters at the end.) Parlete inglese? Per favore. Grazie. Oh and better not forget the all important toilettes or riposo or whatever. Are you impressed or what? Don’t answer that.
