By By the time you are reading this, I will probably be somewhere on the road between Paris and Milan with my good friend and some good music at the start of our epic Italy road trip.
I figured since my normal Wednesday post would be pre-empted by a travel day, I’d pre-write it!
I’m such a nut for traveling. I love to visit new places and meet new people, as long as I can control certain aspects of it, which is why we’re driving and not taking the train. The agoraphobe in me balks at not having SOMETHING under my control.
Our first stop is Milan, but we likely won’t see much, as it’s mostly a stop for sleep before we head south. Our first real touristy day will be when we get to Pompeii. I’ve been wanting to visit Pompeii since I was about 9 years old.
Here in the states, or at least in California, it’s just starting to think about leaving summer behind for autumn. The mornings and evenings are cooler and the wind is brisk. I love autumn, it’s my favorite time of year. I’m looking forward to being cold enough for sweatshirts!
But first, epic road trip through Italy, and a chance to see sites I’ve only dreamed of until now. By the time I get home, it should be properly fall, and time to pull those sweatshirts out of the back of the closet.
I hope you are all having some fun too, Readers! I’m off to finish my packing and have another cup of Death Wish. I have a new book to read on the plane. I hope to tell you about it once I’m done!
