Germany here we come!

I’m posting this entry a bit early because we have to catch an early flight on Friday. I’m not a morning person so I’m not looking forward to that but I’m set. I’ve got my books, journal, movies on the iPod (even yoga podcasts!) and so now it’s on to our adventure.

We look forward to being with our family and friends. Of course we’ll be indulging in lots of yummy bread from the bakeries, lots of hikes, going back to favorite places, going to new places, relaxing with books and just enjoying life.

I’ll try to blog a bit (and blog hop of course) but my computer time will be limited so regular posting will resume when we return on August 24.

You guys read lots of good books and enjoy the rest of the summer. Oh yes, and I promise lots of pictures.

I’ve been busy this week getting ready for our annual trip to Germany and it’s been a bit of a scramble as we have to plan for being out of the country for three weeks but I’m not complaining. I can’t wait to be in Germany again.

One of the most important parts of travel planning is which books to take right? In the suitcase and on the flight of course. I used to do quite a bit of book shopping overseas but won’t be able to indulge as much this year so I have to take quite a few books with me. That means, paperbacks only and if they are the mass market size even better.

I’ve got some classics in mind (think Persuasion and The Woman in White), some mysteries, some fiction and maybe I’ll even throw in an issue of Tin House or some other lit mag.

I’ll miss my bookshelves but I actually did do a bit of book shopping on Amazon.de and so I should have some books waiting for me over at my in-laws. I’ll tell you about those later.

For now, it’s back to packing and organizing.
