Tom found our hotel. It is a spa located on an island in the Danube. (click on link) Take a look. I am looking forward to a comfortable vacation. This is so not Tom
Here is my packing list:
The high tomorrow will be 25 degrees..so I am packing warm..lots of mittens, scarves, down coat, gortex coat, hat and a few Smartwool tops..the blue hat is new!!
We are flying JetAir..and have no baggage allowance..It all has to fit in small carry on ..(so we will be wearing most of our warm clothes.) Shoes are an issue since they take up so much room..so I am wearing warm boots and only taking running shoes..and a pair of slippers.Notice anything wrong with our shoe shelf?
(our dog likes to hide our shoes)
Notice my new rubber boots from Portugal.
Next..Books!! We each have 2 books..Also, I always bring my tiny laptop, my MP3 player and a journal. I bring a crossword puzzle for each day and a glue stick to glue things into my journal..
Now..here is my most important item..My swimsuit! I never ever ever ever go on any outing without my swimsuit. You must always be ready to swim. It is a life philosophy for me.Here in Europe a bathing suit is not always necessary. I love my polka dot suit..and my sister Pat has one just like it. We try not to wear it at the same time (too much!!)
I never leave without snacks. I like to bring a bag of cashews, raisins and some tea bags. Tom says I don't go to the grocery store without food..but I tell you this food has prevented a lot of headaches for me.
Speaking of headaches..I always bring my headache meds, and keep them with me at all times.
Lets see..oh groovy earrings, a fun scarf for my head to spunk things up and my camera of course.
So..that is it. I am packed, ready to go. And it all fits in one carry on bag. I have to even fit my
little back pack into the carry on.
Next blog will be from Budapest!
