Finally, vacation is here! My suitcase is packed and my backpack is ready to be filled with books. Now is the time when I really would like an eReader as I’m taking quite a few books with me as I had to select only mass market size books so I could fit in more.
I’ve got mysteries, classics, and general fiction so I think I’m set. Here’s my backpack and books.
We’ll be making a stop in New York for a couple of days so I get to see my dear friend, Christine, and then we’ll be on our way to Germany (Niedersachsen) to visit our family. I cannot wait to have warm Brötchen with Nutella every morning, go for long walks, spend afternoons with friends and just relax.
I will probably not be posting much but I will be reading lots. I’ll miss visiting with you guys but I’ll try to fit in some time amidst all that relaxing to stay in the loop. More bookish talk soon.
How exciting, Iliana! Perhaps you may wish to pack an extra bag so you can bring home some more books? 😛
Have fun and happy reading!! 🙂
You need an eReader, just for times like these. LOL Your aching back hauling these. Hope you plan to leave them there once you read them.
Have fun
Oh, have fun!! We’ll miss you, but enjoy your vacation and post some pics when you can!! 🙂
I am heading out to Europe too for a quick trip via Frankfurt and Marburg for a couple days on Sept 13th, then France until Sept 27th. I have been asked to be “Best Man” at my friend Martin’s Wedding. I have introduced him to his future bride three years ago. He is German from Dortmund living in the south of France. Anyway you have a wonderful time on vacation. I can’t believe the tower of books that you are taking with you…. I agree with you about breakfast in Germany. They are the best. Tschus.
Have a wonderful trip, Iliana!
Well, of you go.. the way ou describe Germany- i want to come too! I want a vacation too!
Hope u have a great time and plsss some pics will do our eyes some good too..

Have fun on your vacation! It looks like you should have enough books to last you.
Oh, yes, the eReader would make a much, much lighter suitcase! Have a wonderful time, Iliana!
Have a fantastic trip!
That “S” is me 🙂
Sounds like a wonderful trip. You really need an ereader. I just got my Nook and look forward to going away for the weekend without a big stack of books.
Girl you seriously need to buy an ereader. That pile is huge! Have a wonderful trip and will look forward to when you return with stories and pictures!
Have a great time and safe trip! And looking forward to hearing about your adventures when you get back! 🙂
That’s quite a lot of books! Have a great time!!
Have fun Iliana! You will be missed. Great pile of books! I spy Jane Austen in there 🙂
Wow I’m so envious, of the books and the travel! Have a wonderful trip
Have a wonderful trip and enjoy all of your time with family and friends. Enjoy all the reading time also!
Have a fantastic break with loads of reading time!
Awesome! Enjoy your vacation, and good luck with the reading!
I hope you have a wonderful vacation, Iliana and get lots of reading in. This is the first year in a long while I haven’t taken much of a vacation around this time of year. Feels a bit strange.
Have a great time! Looking forward to your beautiful photos! 🙂
Although my writing is Texas, part of my heart is in New York! Enjoy!
Go see the NYC Ballet!
Totally jealous of your awesome travels! Tell Christine ‘ello from me if she remembers. 🙂
Wow, your to-be-read pile looks very impressive! I hope you have a great time. 🙂
I love brotschen with Nutella! Haven’t had it for years, since the 80’s when I lived outside of Frankfurt (drat, is it ‘fort’? I never can remember!). Anyway, I’m thinking of you, and longing to be sharing some of that beautiful German food and country with you. Happy days with your family!
