I made it. I’m overseas! I’ve officially arrived in Europe. It’s taken some getting used to, both the time change and the pace of traveling. And the wine, (even though it’s very pure. Definitely a lot more pure than American wine). But I know it’s time to share an update!

The quote “the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry” will forever have a new meaning in my mind, which will be “the best laid plans of woman, traveler, with two new knees and an inhaler will often create a commotion.”

Remember, the whole point is comfortableness on this trip. Go out of your comfort zone in what you do, but not when it comes to hair in your face, or hair on your neck.

On this trip, I am open to everything. I have to be open to everything, because this is a once in a lifetime experience for me.

As someone in my 60’s, single, with health challenges, I’m not the poster girl for travel. I’m not the typical lady you usually see writing a blog like this, or even making a trip like this. But that’s exactly why I wanted to do it. (And why I want you to join me on my adventure.)
