Travel Bug

My traveling days have been put aside these past few years and I had slowly let the ol' passport expire.  Having 2 small children, trying to make a go of it as a ceramic artist, and not having a lot of extra traveling money has meant all of my trips over the past 5 years have been within Canada.  Finally, after royally procrastinating all summer long, I got down to the Passport office to get the kids and I passports and we got them in the mail this past thursday.  Just holding my passport in my hands did it for me.  All of a sudden the Mediterranean was calling me.  I was drooling over photos of Hot Air ballooning in Turkey and I can't stop reading Hither and Thither's latest Travelogue about Sardinia.  And invariably I'm dreaming about where we can go with our kids in tow.   Certainly a lot more challenging and expensive.  And going on a trip with all of Dean's family this spring to Disneyland is not going to cut it for me...

I'm with you on the hot air ballooning in Turkey idea. Then we could go sailing in Greece and eat our way across Italy. This reminds me that I've got to get my passport renewed also... not that I'll be going anywhere for a while...
