From rags to .... a suitcase - eek!

Monday, September 05, 2011
Camberley, England, United Kingdom
I cannot believe how time flies... it's almost a year since we purchased this house, although that is another story for another day!

When I booked this trip back in May it seems like a very long way off... since then I haven't had time to do any proper research! However, far worse is that I had planned to leave the backpack at home this time and take a small suitcase and I haven't even got one yet, with 3 days left before departure that isn't one of my best efforts in my usual organised world!

Given the slightly more sophisticated attitude of the Europeans I think my usual clobber that dates back as far as 2004 and my earlier trips, really should either be chucked out or left in the back of the cupboard until something a little rougher is planned. I must be the only person to ever have been concerned about taking normal clothes on holiday... I'm just so used to wearing the same rags every day when travelling!

So the rest of this week is going to be a bit manic in the run up to my flight as I have a lot on at work and lots of things to prepare for when I get back too... like card making classes, workshops and the new launch of the Stampin' Up catalogue. But I have another blog for that - for those of you that I haven't spoken to for a while (or worst still since last time I posted on here - sorry about that, you know how it is when you say you have been meaning to catch up or get in touch, and then you just find yourself almost at the end of 2011 - eek (again)!).. check out my other world here if you are interested.

Ok so I will try and avoid references to card making, crafting or any other arts and crafts... note to self: must stay travel focussed, afterall that's what I love to do (but I do love crafting too!!).

First stop Budapest, and the thermal baths I hope!

Trusty fleece in hand (did I not tell you already that I found it?), check back soon for the next page of my travels in Eastern Europe...
