A Travelling I Shall Go

I am sitting here in a hotel room in Seattle, downloading Skype to my laptop, taking deep calming breaths and ready to collapse into bed. Tomorrow morning, bright and early I am off to London. And then to Paris. A week and a half or so in France. Four nights in Paris, three nights in Lyon, three or four in Reims (champagne - YUM), then back across the Channel for a couple of days in Dover and on to Dublin for a week in a nice little apartment just off Temple Bar.

Then to... well I don't know. Scotland probably. This thing has changed and changed and changed again. But it has truly become my trip. Mine and mine alone. Lots of angst and second thoughts (and third and fourth), but now it is time to just go and wing it. I will try to update here a couple of times a week. Don't count on pictures, because I realized on the train today that I left the cable for the camera at Beth's.

Please feel free to comment, cajole, mock, or whatever. I would love to hear from you all. It is really another part of this journey. It is not that I am looking for answers on this trip, but more like a vacation from all the questions. A chance to just have some fun, drink some good wine, eat some good food and see the world a bit. And a little research on the side - for me.

See you in Paris...
