A Vacation, At Last!

»

Almost finished packing. Yes, we are finally going off for a vacation, an almost real vacation that is further then KL.

I have been busy preparing stuff to bring for the past few days. Oversea trips used to be so easy, just packed up 2 hours before leaving for airport, leaving behind all the worries after boarding. With a kid around, there are so many things to prepare and worry about.

All the shopping was done for her. I am worried about food, about her diaper, about the weather. So I bought jar food, disposable bibs, medicine, and even a poncho. I would have secretly packed a 48 pieces Mamy Poko into my backpack if James didn’t catch me doing so. It is such a pain that I have to scout for diapers and baby food while on holiday, especially so when the only few words I could say is bonjour, au revoir and merci beaucoup. Oh, I also managed to learn to pronounce “croissant” the correct way, heh. Yauyau shall eat that for all her meals if I am not able to find suitable food for her.

I have not been for a decent holiday for two years, which makes me very excited towards this trip. I know I am going to regret bringing the kid along the minute I reach the airport, but I will try my very best to relax and take things easy so as to enjoy myself. Because of the kid, we shall mainly be visiting gardens, châteaux and churches, cutting out the museums and shopping malls. Well, we will see how it goes, haven’t really plan any itineraries yet.
