and I’m off again. Philadelphia to Dublin. First stop, The Shelbourne, 27 St. Stephen’s Green North. Then to see Mike; can’t wait to see him!! Approximately twelve days in Sopot. Then back to Ireland with Mike. Flight to Dublin, train to Galway–five days in Galway/Spiddal.

Packing. This is the worst part of the trip for me. Everything has to fit in one carry-on and one checked luggage. Wish me luck. The list,

• ten pairs of socks and underwear–long length sports bras for layering
• three pairs of shoes (walking shoes, boots and inside AirBnB shoes)
• six tops (three sweaters/cardigans, three long-sleeved, warm t-shirts)
• four bottoms (two long/warm, one pair of nice slacks, one skirt (maybe))
• winter jacket, gloves, hat and scarf
• sunglasses, sunscreen, travel-sized toiletries
• phone, iPad, Apple watch and laptop
• dental kit and medical kit (just in case!)
• European travel voltage converters (Ireland and Poland are different)
• passport and international ID card
• credit cards and some cash
• binoculars (might not bring this time–really didn’t use in the fall)
• poncho
• umbrella

Talk again Tuesday or Wednesday. It always takes me a couple of days to catch up once I land. ; ) But, I did post the flower show with sisters and this post to get me back in practice.
