This-n-That Thursday--Traveling While Aging

You know you're getting there when...
  • You spend two whole days deciding whether or not to roll or fold your clothes.
  • You cannot find any more ziploc bags to put toiletries in so you opt for a doggie-poop-bag solution. Unused, of course.
  • You wonder how many magnifying mirrors you can safely pack.
  • The same with tweezer products of all manner.
  • Snappy flat shoes become your obsession.
  • You pack more meds than make-up.
  • You wonder how long it will take your bodily functions to catch up when you get there. Sorry. But I know you agree.
  • You are counting on your cute wraps to draw the eye away from your upper arm issues.
  • You are thrilled to be able to bring as much Sudafed as the CVS would allow you to buy to your hostess. There isn't any in Spain.
  • You are just thrilled. Period.
I'll be reporting from the scene....

Oh you will love Spain. My son lived in Madrid for two years going to school and working. I have a very good friend who lives in Granada and her sister lives in Madrid. Her parents live in a coastal town called Almeria where my friend grew up. Enjoy and have some Paella for me. Oh and the Tapas are the best.

I've been away too and missed checking into your blog. Wow I've never rolled my clothes, do you get less creases that way?

Unknown said...
