It’s been a while since I’ve blogged (not much happening on the travel front except lots of trip planning) but today, I’m excited to finally embark on a return trip to one of my favorite parts of the world: Europe!  I’ll be spending the next four days in London with my family, then hopping the Eurostar to Paris for another three days.  Yay!

I’ve already written about my trip plans, and will be sure to post some fun memories when I return (it’ll be nice to finally have new travel stories to share!)  But I wanted to check in on the blog today mostly to express my own excitement.  It’s been nearly two years (!) since my last overseas trip–life has made taking a break from travel unavoidable--but I am so, so ready to get back out into this beautiful world we live in.  Even the prospect of a seven-hour flight fills me with giddy anticipation.

Here’s to a week of museums, bookstores, cafes, restaurants, gardens, palaces, fromage, and of course, chocolate.  ALL the chocolate.

Hope your weekend is wonderful and full of travel magic!
