Cat Nap

Required activity after a whirlwind cross-country trip. ........Home again Saturday

afternoon. When flying west, there is that 3 hour time advance.....arriving in Sacramento on Wed. before noon was nice but considering that we had to get up so early, by the time we finally hit the pillows, we'd been awake over 20 hours....then a busy holiday and too much carbohydrates and a red eye flight home and yesterday was a haze of napping and time confusion.

We're trying to store up some sleep credits before we head to the airport again.....Barcelona is not a given yet as we are waiting to see what the passenger load looks like before we commit. We've been reading the guide books, looking for language apps to supplement my rudimentary college Spanish (I do know how to get a Spanish speaking woman thru labor and delivery but not sure that empujar and dolor will get me very far).

I have a minor obsession with handbags. I've been searching for the perfect one for years. I have pared down my collection to just a few favorites and practical bags. BUT, I still did not have what I considered to be the best travel bag. Until this week. I ordered the Baggallini Brussels bag. It is a regular bag, a cross-body and a backpack. On this trip, it carried the iPad, the Kindle , my large wallet, a water bottle and assorted other necessities. It was not heavy, nor bulky. It is close to PERFECT. It is a durable nylon-type fabric with heavy duty zippers and straps. It comes in many colors but black is the favorite go-to for me. Amazon has it for about the best price. Baggallini bags are the creation of 2 flight attendants and they have something in every size and for every purpose.

Now that we are awake, we are headed out for a short 9 holes of golf and then will park ourselves in front of the TV to watch St. Tebow save the day once more.
