Our crazy vacation

Here it is past 1am in France and I am still up - because I am finalizing our itinerary for our next fabulous vacation.... kudos to André who is also up - he is my navigator - and, since Ireland can't be seen by satelite or easily recognized by Google Maps - he really had his work cut out for him this time!

At 12 days and so many locations, this is our biggest and most complicated adventure yet - the amount of planning absolutely blows my mind - and I'm sure reality will not match our (as usual) overly ambitious goals, but, I'm sure it will all be worth it.

Hope you are looking foward to blogs galore about all this.

May the weather be untypically glorious!

Sounds like a fun trip you have planned. I didn't plan ahead and get your recipe for soup in a pumpkin. Guess we'll see how it goes since you are gone...
