Yep, I&#8217;ll be leaving the office in 6 hours and then I&#8217;m living the jet-set life (that would be the glamorous life to you Sheila E. fans) for 8 days in Europe.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>But now I&#8217;m a bit concerned that I&#8217;ve packed a bit too lightly. I mean, I&#8217;m leaving the continent for 8 days and all I packed was a book bag and my Coach messenger bag. Essentially, carry on luggage. The friends I&#8217;m traveling with told me they&#8217;re going to have to check their luggage. And, when I asked one about the contents he&#8217;s bringing, his list surpassed mine. <\/P><br \/>\n<P>Oh dear. Well, I most definitely could have packed more, but I didn&#8217;t want to have to check my luggage. I have this irrational fear that it will end up in Zimbabwe or something and then I&#8221;l be stuck with no clothes. I mean, it would be awful to have to buy all new clothes in Paris. It&#8217;s not like that city is known for it&#8217;s shopping or fashion or anything.<\/P><br \/>\n<P>Anyway, unless I can read signs and figure out where some internet cafe&#8217;s are, it looks like this will be a blog-free zone until at least October 13th. But who knows &#8211; I may stumble upon a library or something. I wonder if their keyboards are different because of the accent marks they use over their vowels?<\/P><br \/>\n<P>I wonder if I&#8217;ll see Roman Polanski?<\/P><br \/>\n<P>I wonder if I&#8217;ll meet any cute subway photo-booth repairmen?<\/P><br \/>\n<P>I wonder if I&#8217;ll inadvertently say &#8220;je suis fromage&#8221;?
