local tourist

I love packing a suitcase.  I’m rather good at it, too, because I would travel a lot as a child between my mom’s house in Georgia and my dad’s in Michigan.  I know exactly what to take and how to maximize space in my bag.  I pick out my best clothes, the cutest, most flattering outfits, my favorite jewelery and a couple pairs of shoes that match everything.  Overnight stay or a week-long journey, I can pack a bag in 30 minutes or less and not forget anything necessary for the trip. 

What I love most about packing a suitcase?  It means I’m going somewhere!  I’m going to see new things and eat great food.  I love to travel, it doesn’t matter how near or far, I just love getting away. 

And that’s just what I’m doing.  Getting away.  A small, overnight trip to the Big City for some much needed quality time with my husband.  I predict penguins will be involved as well as steak (not penguin steak, that would be wrong).
