IT'S TIME FOR THE IRVINE TRIP BLOG ONCE AGAIN!

    
                                        Southeast  Asia  2013

So. It's time once again for the Irvines to take a trip. AND it seemed, a year ago, at the time when we booked the trip, like a good idea. You know how, in the winter, people browse through seed and bulb catalogs, dreaming of summer? Well, travel companies are not stupid. They do exactly the same thing. Our mailboxes are jammed with cruise and travel catalogs that show us swaying palm trees on white sand beaches, colorful foreign outdoor markets in colorful foreign countries, exoic sights and sounds. And we browse these catalogs.
So, about a year ago, we booked a trip to Southeast Asia. After al, it is summer in Australia now. And isn't it hot in Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia all the time?? Except now it is TIME. The year's up. Yikes! Which means al the good intentions of losing weight, getting in shape, reading up on the sites and countries, saving money to pay for it: -- all these intentions except ONE remain intentions only. What ONE? Not the weight, nor the shape thing, and not even the reading part.  We have saved the money and, in fact, paid it to the cruise line.  And I so do not want go a year later!! But since we can't get our money back or have to die or something to do that, we are headed out.  Bu first, we have to pack... ye gods!

Yeah, it'll all fit in two small bags.
