Hi Friends,
So tomorrow is the big day - I leave Chicago and head out to Europe. I fly from Chicago - JFK, then JFK onto Milan. Should be interesting considering the ash cloud that is "Eyjafjallajokull." Under normal circumstances I would be delighted to read about an active volcano for those of you that know me and know my obsession with obsidian et al.
After that I fly from Milan to Athens, then on to Santorini. It will be a miracle if I get in on my original times and flights. I have notified Xagoririas Vasiliki, my hotel owner of my travel problems however as his name is Xagoririas, I have little faith he understands all my complex requests and directions.
I was truly delighted to discover that I packed my list of clothes, hair products, shoes and still had room left over. For those of you that have followed this blog from the beginning, that is an epic win. When CarlaGoesPostal was launched it was the birth of the '5th Grader' a nickname I lovingly gave to my rucksack that was the size of an American born 10 year old. Huge. Sadly, he won't be accompanying me this trip. And also, when you pack for 4 months and several different climates it's a lot harder to fit your life into a 40 gallon bag. 4 weeks is much more manageable... sigh...
So I hope you keep checking this spot, as I'll be posting pics, funny stories and keeping you 'posted' on my going postal. First stop: Santa Irina. God help a duck!
As always, thanks and cheers,
CAE
