Hey All,
Long time, no blog (which is not to say no travel... just no blog). That, however, is about to change. Tomorrow evening, Becky and I will fly off and go galavanting around Europe for nine days.
Here's our itinerary:
First (brief) stop: Iceland.
Next (brief) stop: London.
Next (actual destination) stop: Paris (for the weekend).
Followed by London (for three days).
And finally Iceland (for two days).
As you may imagine, that's a decent amount of currency to keep track of, so here are the status quo exchange rates:
1 pound = $1.6198
1 euro = $1.3014
1 Icelandic Krona = $.00815
All good information to have. And beyond having looked up the exchange rates, I have done remarkably little to prepare for this trip. Oh, don't get me wrong. Flights are booked, trains are booked, connections are booked - but that all happened ages ago (I think my travel style falls into the punctuated equilibrium category). I haven't packed (or checked on what the weather is like in these places in September). I have a single food recommendation for Parisian chocolate gelato (and really, why would I want to eat anything else?), and I have not charged a single piece of electronic gadgetry. I have not mentally prepared myself for the lack of Diet Coke and the disappointment that always accompanies Coca Cola Lite (yuck). I guess that it hasn't really even hit me yet that I'll wake up on Friday (assuming that I fall asleep on the plane) and won't be going to work. Weird.
I'd sit here and ponder that, but if I don't get my digitizing done now, how will I miss it later?
Over and out,
Catherine
