Barb’s Excellent Tahiti Adventure – Part 1

Tahiti Bound

It’s 5:30 AM as I write this and I got back from the airport about 30 minutes ago to drop Barb and her mother Ruth as today they will both be beginning their Excellent Tahiti Adventure. I’m not exactly sure if Barb will be sending me any updates on their trip as all of that stuff has always been something that I have taken care of so I may be lucky to get one or two emails from her while she’s gone. Last night I spent a few minutes showing her how to upload pictures from her camera so that she can email them to me and while I was explaining this she was furiously writing down notes. Hopefully she’s able to get everything to work.

Watching Barb go through the familiar steps of packing up her suitcase yesterday was a bit unsettling knowing that I was not going and would be home by myself for the next few weeks. Barb and I have talked about this subject several times over the past few days as her departure date approached and we’ve both agreed that it’s just not the same going on separate vacations. I think that part of the fun of travelling is the mutual excitement that we both feel while going through our regular routine of preparing for a vacation. I’m not just talking about packing up our suitcases but the months of planning and researching and just generally thinking about an upcoming trip.

We have our plans mapped out for our major trips for the next two years and we definitely don’t have any thoughts about taking separate vacations for any time soon. Nonetheless, I hope that Barb and Ruth have a great time on their own Adventure and that I can update all of you on their progress.
