great company check! backpack check!

I must inform you about a pleasant change in our travels. My dear friend who I have known for half my life - a lover of Jane Austen who knows every song ever written, and can tell you strongly and passionately whether she thinks that song is frightfully bad or extremely good
is going to accompany us on our journey! Hurrah! 

Packing, treacherous business. How do I choose between my red ball gown or my purple. Oy vey! How does one choose? Maybe I'll just stick with some jeans this time and pop out the ball gown on another trip. 

We are looking for a backpack between 30-34 lt. We don't want to check any baggage so we are trying to keep everything minimalistic. A 30 or a 34 lt. backpack should be able to fit everything we need and still be a carry on. Carry-on is 45 linear inches  or (approximatly 22x14x9 in.) so if it doesn't fit we don't need it! 

10 dollars in my pocket and going somewhere

All you have to do is click, one click and your
future is changed.

I was not at the house when my mom pushed the future changing button. my mom called me when she was just about to push it. the button she was about to push was for wondrously marvelous grand tickets, two tickets to London, England.
the very name makes me shutter with excitement! so yes England. my mom and i for about three years have been thinking and hoping to go
somewhere across the sea. not wanting to tell anybody, afraid it would never come true. yet it has.
my mom is
writing a young adult novel, and it is based in England, so we have decided for her book and because
England in my dreams and in every movie and tv show i watch makes it seem so amazing. glastonbury is where we will go first, next wales?
then Ireland? who knows?
