AS DR. SUESS SAID . . .

I am brimming with excitement.

I am cheerful with anticipation.

I am planning and scheming and over joyed with possibility.

I am going on a trip, one I have wanted to take for sometime now. In the first week of September, I will fly over sees to France and Italy. I think it has been three years now that I have wanted to do this, and now with the money and time all coming together, I finally get to go! I can't tell you how excited I am. Europe has always been one of those places that has called to me, and I know a lot of people say that, but I truly believe that if a place calls to you, you must go there. I did it with Toronto, and never have regretted it.

I'm starting with the big stuff: Paris, Rome, Venice, Florence.

And then who knows?

This will be the start of an addiction, I can feel it.

There are worse things.
