In just a few hours, we will be flying over the pond, on our way to Ireland, and then on from there to Italy, Poland, England, and then back to Ireland. I plan on journaling most of the trip, and then blogging with pics for illustrative value.
Jeff is dropping off his suit and my party dress at Chad's as I type, we're both packed, I'm listening to Bob Dylan and filling up my MP3 player, and looking forward to a celebratory drink at the airport. This is Jeff and I's first trip together (if you don't count camping, which I don't) so I'm interested to see how we travel together. I generally stress out until I'm at the airport, and then I just let it go and revel in the fun of traveling. Travel is exhausting, but I've found that I love it like nothing else. I think that travel is one of the most important things you can do for your mind and your soul, although it can be a little rough on the body. Every time I go somewhere new, I feel myself stretching, parts of my brain firing off and things taste different and look different and smell different...and then, in some small way, you are different. Jeff thinks you're only different for a little while, and I say that's because you only feel it for a short time, and then all those experiences just become part of you, so that you forget that they weren't always there.
I hope that I can travel always.

I can't wait to hear all about your trip! I miss you and love reading about your life on this site! It is inspiring and I feel as if a day hasn't passed since we last saw each other... when, if fact, it has been MANY YEARS! Do you even recall the last time we saw each other? I know it was in college... and I believe it was a weekend in K-zoo... miss you and love you... Nicole
