We didn’t have any plans to travel internationally this year because we had so many other things going on. I really didn’t expect my friend, Marie, to suggest a girls trip. Interesting…where would I want to go? Jim and I have big trips planned for 2024 & 2025 and I didn’t want to go to any of those places, nor did I want to go anywhere that he would feel like he was missing out on something. I began thinking of something that I’ve been wanting to do but he wouldn’t be interested in, Christmas Markets! Not just markets of course, but enjoying the festivities of the season. So here we go. I’m struggling a bit with what to pack since I just take a carry on bag and it’s winter. 🥶 It is the extra things to keep me warm and dry that are going to be the biggest challenge. We leave on December 4th, so I only have a few more days to figure it out.

Stay tuned…
