T Minus 7 Days

Please check back here for updates and pictures from my trip to Europe. Wow, I am ready to get some distance from Bellingham and shake the dust off my travel legs. YAY!

The saddest part of my trip? I am leaving during the end of Berry and Cherry Season in Washington, the land where 90 degrees is a ‘scorcher’ in August. Oh, and of course, leaving Beastly behind. If only she should shrink to pocketsize! But I will rest well at night knowing she is in GREAT hands.



Here is the rough itinerary:
Germany-Prague-Germany-Italy-Germany.

Andernach, Germany will be my ‘base camp’ and is where Fireball lives. Fireball is a friend I have known for many years but have not seen in while. Let’s just say a 3dimensional conversation between Fireball and I is LONG overdue. Thank goodness for email, or I would have missed her dearly . I will spend a few days at basecamp getting over jetlag and soaking up as much Fireball as I can before flying on to Prague.

I will leave her behind for my Czech adventure. Prague has been calling my name for years and I now get to experience it with a few locals. I will meet up with another longtime friend, GP, in Prague. Every time I think of GP a story involving Guatemala Pants comes to mind, so it’s a very fitting blog-nickname.

I will then return to basecamp where I will spend lots of time with Fireball and Fraulein, her best friend. We will drink wine and tour the part of Germany they live in, but mostly rest for Italy. Yes, all three of us are taking a vacation to Italy together! The Fs and I have rented a Tuscan apartment and a car where we will do day trips from. It was the most budget worthy plan and how awesome is it that I will have a Tuscan apartment and car for 10 days?

Then it’s back to basecamp for a week where Fireball is off from work. Can anyone say Germany staycation? Eeek! I am looking forward to this week the most.

That is really all I know for now.

Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to come back and peek in on my trip anytime.

In case you didn’t catch on, I do not like using actual given first names. I prefer blog nicknames. Please use this preference when commenting. Feel free to even make up a nickname of yourself in your comments that I can use in my blog!

Ok, enough for now.
