Isn’t it funny? I have a whole cache of posts prepared to pull you along while I laugh doubled over during my visit in the States but yet this evening, I am so filled with a bubbly excitement that I can’t put anything together, save a pile with my passport and ticket. Of course, certain tasty treats de la France have already been carefully packed in my bag along with myriad cadeaux. I have been roving to hold Remi randomly like a planet in rotation, sad that he is not coming with me, nor Ben. For I know that I am heading to the Land of the Loved. If you feel so inclined, send good thoughts to him please so as to keep him company and perhaps to yours truly who will soon be lifted up in flight above our quotidien and sending hope for a bit of peace, a bit of joy to all below…
Fingers crossed for safety, more soon from America…
Bon voyage, Heather! I know how hard it is leaving your two besties behind, even if you're entering into the joyous embrace of friends and family. Part of the expat's travails is being torn between two places. Have a wonderful holiday — and happy Thanksgiving!
Happy travels Heather!
There's nothing like being with your loved ones, I know you're leaving behind two of them but this is part of living in a faraway land. I have my daughter on the other side of the country and sometimes it takes us too long to get together.
Enjoy your vacation!
Best,
Sylvia
Enjoy it, dear Heather. I am sure you will have so much to tell us. Happy Thanksgiving.
Have a wonderful time Heather! Safe travels!
Safe, safe travels. xo J
Heather,
My thoughts and prayers go with you for a safe journey.
Hello Heather
I understand you feelings of joy at travelling to the land of your birth and yet leaving your darlings Remi and Ben to hold the fort in your absence. At times like this, we wish the world was not so large.
Sending you a choir of angels to look after you as you travel and sending good wishes to the boys in Arles.
Happy Happy Thanksgiing. I will raise a glass to you on Thursday
Hugs

Like Dash, I have also been wondering when the departure date loomed. How truly wonderful a gift this is. Sending lots of warm thoughts to both Remi and Ben, who will no doubt compete as to who misses you more.
And of course, wishing you the most wonderful time with your beloved mother and sister, and safe travels as well. xx
Oh joyous time to come Heather! You will have the best time with your loved ones, catching up, taking in all the sights and smells that you have missed and you know it will go so fast, really, you will be back on the plane and wonder where the time went before you know it. Remi and Ben will miss you sorely, I will send out a thought to them every day!
Relax, enjoy, all will go well.
Christmas wishes,
vicki xx
Thinking of you today…wondering when you would be setting off, you have answered my question. Sending thoughts to Remi and Ben. I know that they will miss you and vice-versa but I also know you will have a wonderful time.
