In just two short weeks I'll be on a plane - final destination: Lisbon, Portugal. This last month has been overwhelming, a whirlwind, chaos, jam-packed, and any other adjective to describe 20 hour days and an average of 5 hours a sleep per night. So the thought of sitting on a plane for 15 hours doesn't bother me one bit. I've been brainstorming about the things I need/want to do while being forced to sit in a plane seat for a significant amount of time. So far, I've come up with: learn how to use the Mac Book Pro I bought almost a month ago and still don't get it (I know...I know...insert comment like "what's not to get?" here), finish the marketing plan for class so I don't have to don't have to miss out on a single outing, design some awesome clothes for Live a Life of Love, read a book...for fun, sleep. Sigh.
Side note - the thought of packing for 5 weeks, 7 countries, 2 business meetings, and hours of sight-seeing makes me break out into hives, but I'm trying not to think about it yet.
This blog is going to be short. I simply wanted to do an update on the countries Maria and I settled on and wanted a place to put into writing how excited I am that the trip is just 2 weeks away!!!
