Why the books? I have to tell you that Terri is an author with two wonderful books already published - I'm reading the second right now - and another soon to be on the way to my bookshelf. We are going to have much to talk about when we meet next week. Terri is from New England, and I lived there many years, so we know many of the same places in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. We talked on the phone this week and she already feels like a special friend. We've shared travel tips such as what to pack. I'm inclined to take too much but, by the looks of her small bag, she's got it down pat when it comes to traveling light. I've been able to share interesting places to visit in the Minervois region as I was there in 2006. She's invited us all over for wine and cheese. I just know we will have a great time.
Terri now lives on a tiny Florida island named Cedar Key. She also has a beautiful vacation property ready to rent if you need a break and want to live the island life. You just have time to stop by to wish her "bon voyage", tell her Mary sent you. Terri DuLong www.islandwriter.net

I'll wait with anticipation to hear about your meeting with Terri and all the stories of that lovely village in France.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time with your family!
Love to you and Bob,
Deborah
Thank you so much, Mary, for the lovely post and for sending so many nice ladies to my blog to visit me.
ReplyDeleteActually, the luggage I got is a pretty good size. I suppose it could be used as a carry-on, but we'll be checking both pieces. They fit perfectly on the wheels that I got though, so it'll be easy getting on and off the TGV to head south from Paris.
I'm finishing up last minute things here and I'm really looking forward to seeing you in Caunes!
And a note to Jeanne....It would be great to meet you while we're in Highlands. We arrive there Dec. 20 for that week.
