this week

We are going to go to Europe enshaalaa. This is really exciting! Moreover, we are going to meet friends and family there which is even more exciting. I was determined that I was going to visit my friends in Europe this summer, and here we go.This proves how we can persevere to meet each other.
There are a lot to be done before we leave though. Managing the stops and hotels and car rentals, reviewing the traveling books and maps, listings and shoppings, ... these are all required. Moreover, we proudly have a toddler tourist among us and we should foresee his needs and also reduce our expectation from this adventure intensely. To add to the complexity of this coming week for me, I need to take the necessary steps for going back to work, this time as a working mom: taking care of Arman's day care, his transportation management, my working wardrobe, and some necessary studies and reviews.
I am sure it is going to be a nice vacation before my start date at work; the calm before the storm!

How very exciting Nimeh Shab Jan! It's going to be a wonderful experience for all of you, I'm sure. I travelled with my kids since they were each a month old, and there have been some trials and tribulations associated with the experiences. But the kids learned to travel and to enjoy the journey as much as the destinations. They are now world travelers who can go anywhere by themselves. Whenever you have time, give me a call and I will give you a couple of pointers about air travel and earaches and such. I hope you guys have a marvelous time, recreating and resting, getting ready for the new chapter in your lives. Be good azizam.

Nazy joon I will soon call you. I have already gone to Iran with Arman once, but back then Arman was not walking. I am sure this time is air travel is more challenging because Arman is much more mobile AND demanding ;)
