He and my mom had only been retired for about 10 years, and had been looking forward to spending their twilight years enjoying the Spanish sunshine. At least Big J and my younger son were able to spend some time last summer with Yayo.
Today was spent fielding calls, getting Euros, packing and tonight I am off to Spain to be with my Mom for a couple of weeks. I was afraid they wouldn't give me time off work since I'd already taken a week for Spring Break, but my manager said not to worry.
I'm not at all sure if I will be able to do any posts, so my apologies now.
In the meantime, here is what the security-conscious me wears on a trip. I don't usually carry a purse in Spain so when on a plane, "wear" all my purse-content-type of items.
I am wearing tons of clothes, since it is always so cold on the plane: a tank top, the taupe t-shirt from Costco, another long-sleeved shirt, a Danskin jacket, a sparkly scarf, jeans and my 8-hole Docs, unlaced for easy on-off. Plus, I'll have a short coat overtop - it's supposed to be thundery and lightning-ish in Spain, and my sister-in-law says it's getting colder.
Why do I look so bulgy and lumpy?
It's that bulky passport holder.
I will try to post ...
