For someone living in a small town, travel is like a comma, semi-colon (but more probably an exclamation mark even if it’s not grammatically correct) to a long, run-on sentence. We will be having a quick stop (exclamation point) in New York for the weekend and then a week in Las Vegas — no, not for gambling or wild nights —- but for some family time. (It will be the MR’s first “live” encounter with the family (exclamation point!))
I won’t be carrying back any textiles but I hope I’ll bring a lot of inspiration and ideas—and photos—- in my travel trunk when I get back.
ciao!
