Hello hello!!!! It's been such a long time! Happy to visit your blog and see pretty Lola! I love traveling. Haven't done much this year but did get to take a wonderful trip to Minneapolis. It was beautiful! I hope you're having a wonderful day.

a clean hotel room and good service - that's my travel essential. though, a good meal would be nice as I probably won't like the food.

have a great day.

With all the animals on the farm, I don't get to travel much. I'm not sure I'd pack any of those items though.

I dunno, those feet shoe things look mighty comfy! A fan-jacket could come in handy, but I don't want to go anywhere where I'd have to use mosquito netting!
I've been to New York and London, and took a tram from one airport to another in Paris, but I'd love to go to Sydney!!

hahaha

I have to admit that I don't travel without my own pillow. I'm addicted to it, or rather, my neck is.

Wow -I've been to all those places and just realized how lucky I've been to do that while I was able. How did I manage without the sauna, slinky, face gear and convertible dress I wonder! Washing and drying travel clothes was always a problem -can see now how to solve that problem! Fun post for the letter 'U'.

Being hopelessly practical, I'd probably go the mosquito net, although I'd want a full body suit (no idea how that would work). I'm allergic, and all sorts of nasty diseases are creeping south in Australia.

I did see some of Wallander (and enjoyed), but not The Killing. And Downtown Abbey has totally passed me by. Going back to Miss Phrynne... http://glamourdrops.com/2013/10/05/decadent-fashion-interiors-from-1929-the-glorious-miss-fishers-murder-mysteries/

My dream destination is Paris & Provence! The lights of Paris... the old world essence of Provence... what a great combo. Someday, someday. (I'll definitely skip the tomato fight in Spain though, LOL)

I'll take champagne in Paris instead!

Blessings, Edie Marie

Andrea said...

Wow how great if i can follow those leads, and you have wonderful photos. Are they all yours? I envy your travels. and thanks.

Judie said...

My travel essentials are sunscream, a towel, my beach chair, my hat, and a good book. Then I travel 15 minutes to the beach. Oops! have to run back! I forgot my bottle of water!!

Betty Manousos said...
