Long Weekend

Its going to be a long weekend in more ways than you think. We are getting our final "to do" lists togther for our Europe trip. Rita is even going through a "packing rehersal" to make sure we have enough room for all her outfits and shoes. I told her not to worry, where we are going she will be visiting lots of shops. But she is undeterred. Also getting our reservations finalized for our accommodation in France and Italy. All done except Tuscany and Rome. A lttle over budget on the accommodation, but we have saved money on car hire and interal flights, so we should still be OK.

Have purchased a GPS system for the car as many peopl have told us, if we want to keep our relationship on an even keep we will need to have it. Apparently many arguments are focussed around the driver and navigator when trying to find streets and attractions in France and Italy. We will see if the GPS system will save our marriage. It was going to cost us 700 Euro to add it to our leased car so I bought one instead for $500 that has North America and Europe map systems. Just have to find out how it works now. Its on the to do list.

Going for a walk and coffee now as its making me tired just writing about it.

Cheers...Geoff

Great start with your blog, I look forward to following your adventure. Your story was quite funny and reminded me of the time Tom and I almost bought one kayak for two people. The experts adviced us that they are called divorce kayaks, and couples who want to stay with each other should buy two.
