The tickets have been bought. The hotels have been booked. The luggage has been bought. The maps have been printed. The guide books have been bookmarked. We are going to Europe in May!
I am so excited I could pee. I can't stop using Google street view to walk the streets by our hotels. I can't stop reading up on Paris and England. It's almost my every waking thought.
I've finally gotten a prescription for Xanax to assist me in actually getting on a plane and leaving my kids for a couple of weeks. The last time I was in Europe I did not have the best time. Between attempting to translate for my parents, missing my high school boyfriend (who was not missing me), having multiple panic attacks, and attempting to live off of baguettes and street vendor ice cream, I did not appreciate Paris the way I should have.
This time it will be different. I will be prepared. I will have my husband with me, and I will be a fully formed adult instead of a young 18 year old girl traveling with her very un-worldly parents.
I just bought a brand new Jessica Simpson suitcase, with leopard print lining. I'm brushing up on my French. I seem to have forgotten a lot of important nouns and verbs.
I'm going to try and write about the whole journey: right now the prep work, the history, the planning, the packing (What does one wear in Paris?), and then the trip itself, followed by the inevitable aftermath, the depression that follows an amazing trip.
Please stick with me for the ride along.

Believe it or not, this is good, solid, hard-sided luggage. It's made from a polycarbonate composite for resilience and durability while traveling. Heys USA has added a protective coating of clear paint to give it a high gloss luster and protect the wonderful design from scratches. The handle is a modern aluminum telescopic handle system, with push-down locking for easy, single-hand use, and has a cushioned TPR grip for comfort. "Smart Wheels" are larger in the rear for greater control and smooth movement. The entire Britto Collection has a fully lined interior customized to compliment the shell art, clear-view multi-use organizational pocket for ease of packing that also doubles as a divider, and keeping your items secured.leopard print suitcase
