Yesterday mostly involved trip preparation, so there's not much to write about. How many ways can a person pack a suitcase?
But before I did any of that I took a long walk up into Willesden Green, and got some photos along the way. I'll leave you with those -- no commentary necessary!
I also found some DVDs on the sidewalk, and brought home two seasons of the TV show "Curb Your Enthusiasm." We may be watching some of that upon our return.
We're off in a few hours for the airport. I haven't described our trip in much detail, I realize, but that's mostly because Dave chose it and I have only the barest sense of the itinerary. We'll be in a different place pretty much every night, with the first few days on land and the rest at sea and in various ports. Basically, we're traveling through northern Italy by land, and then cruising down through the Adriatic along the coast of Croatia and Montenegro, then around the boot of Italy to Sicily, and then up along the Amalfi Coast to Pisa and Rome.
I hate to leave all the plants with the garden at its peak, but such is the necessity when you can only travel in summer. Warren will take care of it well, I'm sure, and it's nice to know he'll be here holding down the fort as our house-sitter. (So attention, any thieves reading this: Not only do we not own anything worth stealing, our house will not be empty!)
Here's to a good trip.
ReplyDeleteSome of the photos slightly sad..the lost charm bracelet with a maritime feel...the abandoned chairs...
Your trip sounds wonderful.....have a great time.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your trip, I look forward to your photo's.
ReplyDeleteHave a good time on the cruise.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time. Can’t wait for the photos.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your trip, and I am very much looking forward to your photos and description of the trip. Of course I am particularly interested in anything you can say and show us about Sicily - it's been so many years now that I haven't been back, after I spent almost every summer there for ten years in a row from the late 1980s to the late 1990s.
ReplyDeleteDeus caritas est!
ReplyDeleteDrat! With Warren there as your security guard I guess I will have to cancel my van hire agreement. Amongst other things I was hoping to thieve all your clothes to sell to a fashion museum. I hope you have a fabulous time in Italy and on your cruise.
ReplyDeleteBon Voyage
ReplyDeleteI like the fence in the last post and wonder if that was intentional or just happened over time.
ReplyDeleteI also wonder who would drag a chair into the shrubbery and leave it there.
