Excitement’s Brewing

I am getting excited. This weekend I will be planning a trip. I will finally leave on a jet plane to cross oceans and time.

I am worried, though I am putting too much emphasis on this. I am just a wannabe wanderluster. Over the years, I have enjoyed vacations to many places but mostly in my own little part of the world. New Orleans is still my favorite.

Now I finally get to see the land of my heritage, assuming I really am Scotch-Irish. I am also part Welsh, but we will be skipping that for now.

For a short time, I studied history, the Women’s movement, and transatlantic travel (I have about 50 pages of a master’s thesis written somewhere). Now I get to be one of those women heading off to Ireland and Scotland for the Halloween season. Crossing my fingers that we can get tickets to festivals. I will be kissing things while I am there, too.
