A little iPhone art here, drawn while I was on the train to Málaga last August, passing through olive groves. And I may be seeing them again soon!
With Azar’s new found trust in Jessica I started thinking that I might be able to get away this summer after all. Given how frail he’s been lately I would never have left him on his own with just a “sitter” coming in to check up on him. Which still meant I could go away and leave Nog in charge, but he kind of deserves a summer break as well.
And so I spoke to Manolo and it’s almost certain that we’ll be able to use his fabulous apartment the first week of July (well, five nights), which will also free up casa az so that Jessica can have a nice romantic break here with Thomas (if he can make it down). Win win!
I’m so excited about this even though it’s over a month away. I just love Málaga and Manolo’s apartment is in such a great location. It’s also been redecorated so should be looking fab, and it will really feel like “going home”. Every time I go to Málaga I fall in love with it a little bit more.
I won’t find out for sure if I can have the apartment until a couple of weeks before (fingers crossed!) which means it might be hard to get train tickets. I had wanted to leave on the Monday but realised that is my next oncology appointment, so it will be Tuesday – Sunday instead. But at least I’ll get my holiday in before the next PET scan, just in case…
Have you got any summer travel plans?

I hope you can get away because it sounds so lovely.
I don’t have any definite travel plans for the summer, though I am off to the coast for a week in June (just 2 weeks away, actually!) and I do have a ride to Vancouver the second week of July, but I’m not sure about my work schedule for that time. Other than that nada. My big travelling comes up in Sept. when I get to go to PEI for 2 weeks! 😀

No travel plans, at least for leisure. If you except a few days with my parents during that event: http://www.clin-doeil.eu/sp/index.html

I’m taking off for a few days of fly fishing third week of June. Other than that, no solid plans over the summer. We might go to San Antonio in October for the International Accordion Festival (also our 10th anniversary!). We’ve talked about visiting Baltimore and Washington to take in some museums, but we haven’t solidified anything there yet.

It would be nice to get away but I really don’t want to travel far with Mom, now. And, of course, I don’t have anything I’d want to do on my own… I hope you do get the chance to get away.

Hmm – a week on the Brecon and Monmouth canal – that’s about as exciting as it gets.

I’m planning to spend a few days on the edge of Bodmin Moor staying with an old friend who is dog-friendly. Apart from that, no plans.
Hope yours come together.
