“Why haven’t you been writing”….properly prodded and preparing

OK, so many friends have asked me why I am not writing. Typically, I don’t feel inspired to write until I’m traveling. That will be happening in 28 days which are moving extremely fast. What am I doing?!

I had not idea how much is involved in being gone for a trip of this length. WHEW! Shopping lists, trip supplies, coordinating with new friends who will be living in my home while I am gone, new website and ALL the patience involved in learning that, camera shopping (still haven’t found a new one), back-up bank account, the list goes on.

In the next day or two, I’ll do a pre-pack for my trip. I’ll pull out everything I think I need, organize it, add the new stuff I’ve bought but never traveled with before and see how it all fits.

Yesterday I learned that Singapore Airlines allows only one piece of luggage in the cabin and it can’t weigh more than 15 pounds. I’ve never traveled with anything electronic before and have yet figured out how best to travel with it? I also learned that Singapore Airlines won’t allow customers to bring any food onboard. The good news: their galley is always open during the flight and baskets of fruit, sandwiches, snack bars, cookies, juices, drinks, soups, etc. are regularly available during any time during the flight.

The other good news, they don’t really check. Any raw food snacks I make I plan to take along. Shhhhh, keep it secret! I’ll make a few things for good nutrition while in flight, not much, but a little makes a huge difference.

I’ll do a better job from now on to post and let you know what’s happening with me and my travel plans. If you want to hear about anything in specific, please let me know and I’ll see if I can include it!

Ciao….
