Months and months ago the conversation went something like this:
Sylvia: “Wouldnt it be fun to take a trip together?”
Heléne: (figuring we were discussing lots of wouldnt it be fun ideas, like traveling, or buying a winning lottery ticket, or meeting the queen of sheba) “That would be a blast Mom.”
Sylvia: “I always wanted to see the Greek Islands”
Heléne: (realizing we werent in some write the script of a movie type of conversation) “Actually, so have I”
Sylvia: Let’s look into it and see what we find
Months of googling, asking around, reading, calling and googling some more - the idea turned into a plan…and before we knew it, we had tickets, an itinerary and were on information overload.
Checking the weather, packing, unpacking, repacking, trying to figure out exactly how many pairs of shoes you really and truly need, not to mention making sure to leave enough room in your bag to bring things home (or room for an extra bag maybe?)
So…this is how it goes…
Mother and daughter off on an adventure together, on a ship, in the middle of the ocean, off to far away ports…with no cell phones! What will we do when faced with the possiblity of having an extended conversation with each other - no other phone lines to answer, no other places to be, no other committments. Are we crazy? Are we lucky? Perhaps a bit of both…but our trip together is sure to be memorable.
Follow along with us - we’ll let you know what we’ve been up to and maybe if we’re all lucky - keep you entertained too!
