I received a text message from my best friend this morning. We are meeting in Barcelona on Saturday. She has informed me that on Monday we will be heading to Terersa's summer home on the Mediterranean. There is a pool and tennis courts for our lounging and playing. I believe I will be on the lounging end of that offer. I am beside myself with excitement. I realized I haven't been to Europe since I was 17 and I have not left the country since Costa Rica. This is an overdue adventure and I plan on making more frequent trips in the future.
Since Carmen was born in Spain and has duel citizenship she has a lot of family and friends there. I will be getting my citizenship to the U.K. when I return. Perhaps we will run off to Europe together when we grow up.
Getting ready to be away from work for two-weeks has proven itself to be painful. Wouldn't you know that everything that can come up, has. I am scrambling. Although work can reach me in Spain I am still nervous about leaving the kids for such an extended period of time. They have been without me for a week, but two will be interesting. The last time I was out of the office I came back to over 300 emails and countless voicemails. I do not have a proper assistant to cover my desk so I will be setting up whatever I can to ensure that the part of the company I manage will not need a lot of tending to. We shall see.
Turns out there is a baggage handlers strike in Spain. Figures. They are re-routing luggage just to mess with the airlines. In an attempt not to be sans panties I have decided to take two bags, one on the plane with a weeks worth of necessities and one checked with all the clothes I can live without but would like to have. I could probably take three bags knowing me but since it is crazy hot there my clothing is all the light, compact type. With any luck, everything should arrive with me. If not, I guess I will just have to shop. Shame.
