Anticipation--and an invitation

in

And we're off again!  The yearlong wait is nearly over.  Jane and I decided about 12 months ago to again ditch our husbands and head out for adventure.  We found a river cruise, eventually paid for it, and now with about 10 days to go until departure, I have to admit I haven't put a thing in a suitcase, though I have thought about what I'll bring. Really, I have. I'm looking forward to unpacking once--just once--and then enjoying the miles as they float beneath us.  But for now it's plan, plan, plan.  Take care of the dog's nails and anal gland (yuck), arrange Ronda's care for Pete, pay all the bills, (oh!  property taxes!), pay mom's bills, grab my wonderful sister (who will be staying with mom) from the airport, make sure there's food here for Pete, arrange for lawn care, etc. etc. etc.  Wow, just the preparation leaves me crazy sometimes, but I know as we float along with our favorite double gin/tonics in hand, we'll breathe a sigh and smile and relax.  And we'll toast life, our blessings, the world surrounding us.

Please join us on this venture if you'd like.  I hope the internet connection and my aging iPad hold out, and if so, we can all appreciate the multi-national mix and makes this world so amazing.  Really, climb onboard with us!
