on holidayIt suddenly occurred to me around 9 pm last night that I am ON HOLIDAY!

This doesn’t mean that I’m not working as much as always, just that there are fewer tapas tours this month and that I have also made plans to travel here and there in Andalucía doing research for my new trip planning biz. So how does this qualify as being ON HOLIDAY you ask? Well, the main difference is not feeling any pressure to have to be anywhere or do anything at any particular moment. So I can just get up in the morning and deal with new things as they come up, go to the gym or takes walks whenever I want, and also comfortably get on with updating website stuff…  at my leisure. Just writing this makes me want to stretch like a cat.

Every summer I have to “lighten up” in terms of what I’m going to carry around over my shoulder. Usually this means finding a small shoulder bag for “essentials” (wallet, keys, iPhone) and then a cute summery hand-held straw bag for “extras” (camera, fan, sunglasses, charger cables, this and that). When it’s 45º I just can’t carry all that shit in one shoulder bag. And so hey, imagine how pleased I was to find this perfect lightweight Kipling 17cm x 19cm bag today (but wtf is with that gorilla?). Now the hunt is on for small brightly coloured straw bag. I’m hoping for red. Or maybe yellow…
