Holiday Quest

Am keeping my fingers crossed. If things run smoothly, it’s off to Paris in a week’s time. Have not done any preparation yet. Kind of rush. Too many other things to do. Too little time to spare for preparation. Have not:

a. book any hotel yet.
b. have not found my dear friend who is somewhere in this world. Not even sure if he is in France. Thankfully another friend who is making the trip back at about same time as me, has promised that he will do his best to locate our dear friend. He misses him too. Good friends are hard to come by. Once found, must remain in contact. Just pray that our friend is fine, alive, and happy.
c. have not done any background check on the latest infrastructure in Paris. I am crazy about seeing, walking, feeling and breathing the latest architecture, bridges, expositions, ideas and concepts. I am always in a state of HIGH whenever this happens.
d. have not bought the digital video camera yet. Done some checks but not sure if the model will meet most of my needs. The older models are cheaper because they run on mini cassette tapes; an hour per tape. Wonder how many tapes I need. The newer technology runs on memory but the price is high. Cough cough.
e. have not washed my winter clothes yet…
f. have not brushed up any of my French yet…AAARRRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
g. have not slimmed down enough…otherwise can’t fit into my clothes when there is another inner layer of thermal wear to consider. Aspire to be chic and beautiful in such a beautiful city. Sigh, VANITY. All women’s downfall.
