Up Up and Away ✈️

/ brisbanefrannie

Excitement is mounting. It’s been a long time since I’ve done international travel. Steve went to Italy for a swim trek last year but I didn’t. so it feels rather strange sitting here in the lounge waiting.

Bags are packed. 12kg is more than I planned but I blame the warmer clothes needed for Iceland , the Shetlands and the Hebrides. I’ve rolls into compression cubes but fear when I unpack I’ll never get it back into the same space! And a sign of my age is the large addition of pills, potions, knee guards and even a heat pack! All that weighs more than my clothes!

I hope you the readers can stay reading for 9 weeks! We’re doing the trip we planned back during covid. Iceland , Scotland and have added on driving across the US!

We’ve planned it ourselves. Apart from the super airfare my friend Jenny booked for us.

I book the accommodations, Steve does transport and we fill out the ‘to do’ together. Finding suitable places to stay involves reading reviews & checking google maps. And finding places I can cancel if something better comes up. It pays off!

We’re away for 64 days with the longest Sat of 11 nights in Edinburgh for the Festivals. Lots of concerts, music, the tattoo book festival food festival. It will be a big busy time.

So ‘Come Along with Me’ 🥂✈️
