Hither shores instead of whither weather

This blog, though themed, is of course more personal than generally informative. When I created it, I already had in mind to use it for my personal travel journal on the trip I have planned. Now, with less than two months to departure, I will depart from the theme occasionally to report on travel preparations.

The trip is to take me around the world, though that sounds like something of more scope than it actually will be. I will be touching three continents in six weeks: Europe is my starting point, of course, but I will be here only at the beginning and end of the journey. The first half will be spent visiting family and friends in North America, starting with eastern Canada; then midwest US, both north and south; then Hawaii - which is USA, though I'm not sure it can be technically called North America. From there I fly to the next continent - well, to New Zealand first, then to Australia, for the extravagant part of the journey. I am very much looking forward to seeing the other side of the globe, watching the stars in the southern hemisphere - and getting a glimpse of Middle-earth!

Today I bought the most important piece of luggage - a backpack with wheels, very versatile in all kinds of situations. Now to plan my wardrobe and stuff so that I get it all in there!

Hello darling. Thank you for the birthday wishes. I made your summer drink the other day, sharing the recipe with some friends, and thought of you. :)))

Thanks for the visit to my blog! I don't usually applique as I also prefer piecing but for a challenge, I'll try something to stretch the abilities.

I'd love to see your work!
