Couple being raised in California with living in Memphis for 10 years and experiencing this just blows my mind.
It's a very welcome, unexpected vacation from life. And I am appreciating every second of it. (Appreciation—maybe that should be my word of the year?)
Most of it has been spent planning for Italy. Accommodation planning, travel planning, packing planning...I am a little anxious about being so far away from home. For light packing for a little over two weeks, I plan to bring mostly Piko tops of neutral colors and jeggings. Here's one set of outfits re-wearing the same shirt:
We did book a place with a washer and dryer so we'll have any opportunity to wash some clothes. Also, cardigans, a chambray top, sneakers, and a light scarf. This Fjallraven backpack is on my wishlist, but I may just end up using the backpack I already have.
Also want to note here that after a year of not being able to use my second generation Kindle after resetting it and having trouble getting it to update, Amazon must've fixed the problem. On a whim, I took both of our second generation Kindle's off the bookshelf, plugged them up, and signed on with no problem. For a whole day, we couldn't get passed the "cannot connect" message. It was frustrating! So now we have 4 Kindles all together :/ Anyone need a Kindle?
Going to see if I can plan out a little bit more of the trip—au revoir!
