Holy cow

I just booked our first real vacation. By real, I mean, just the 2 of us and for longer than a few days. It'll take about a week to get all of the confirmations back, so for now I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there will be no surprises.

We decided on Paris, Prague, and Rome.

Now I hyperventilate; it'll pass.

I've wanted to make a trip like this for a very long time. It's still a number of months away so I have lots of time to make elaborate plans about all the pictures I will shoot and how I might condense my baggage and also to learn key (polite) phrases in French and Italian and practice nodding and smiling a lot.

Breathe breathe breathe breathe.
