Since I’m not working this weekend, I was able to sleep in. Only about 30 min, but I’ll take what I can get. I have plans this evening and tomorrow so I was mentally checking off what had to get done today in my free time. While it’s not a lot, it pertains to my upcoming trip. Next month my mom and I will be going to Poland and France. I was doing the math and I haven’t been back to Poland in 29 years!!! How is that possible, I don’t feel like I’m old enough for that amount of time to have passed.

We will be going with a tour group all over Poland (mom’s choice) but I had a chance to play tour guide since there are extra parts to the trip. We’ll be arrive a night before our tour arrives, then extending our stay by a few days. Then it’s off to Paris for a couple of days, then we head home. While I am really excited to go back to Poland after such a long time, my focus has really been on Paris. I was there 2 years ago and couldn’t wait to get back. With our Poland tour everything was already planned out for us, then family time, so nothing I had to plan. While the travel to and from then keeping us occupied in Paris fell to me. The question I had to ask myself was how would I share a place that I love that wouldn’t be overwhelming for my mom? There is soo much to see and do but we’ll be tired from the first part of our trip.

Plans are set with some surprises along the way. I am ready to be confused, tired, and full of good food. In the meantime I need to get stuff done like grocery shopping and cooking latter today followed by quality family time. I’m going to drink a bit more coffee, pet the dog more, then get started on chores. À bientôt!
