As you can see last night I had a little help packing my suitcase.
This morning I was all ready to go, one last day of work and three and a half weeks of sweet, sweet freedom!
I stopped for my last descent cup of tea before entering the US (according to my Dad descent tea does not come in a paper cup). Sadly my southern friends just don't know what a good cup of tea is, I'd rather go without for a week.
My drive down to Syracuse was uneventful which is what we all want. The border crossing was actually pleasant this time, had a bit of a chit chat with the US Customs guy. I have to say its "quite boring" sticking to the speed limit.
To try to start relaxing I treated myself to a pedicure... There is also the fact that I was so exhausted last night I just forgot to do it and my red chipped polish was quite unsightly.
I had dinner in bed...
I'm about to pick up my stitching, I've packed Cirque des Circles by Ink Circles for this next week. Here it is before I pick it up, I last worked on it during my Dominican Experience trip this past February. This is becoming a well travelled piece!
I'm up early tomorrow morning for my flight, next time I'll be blogging from Charleston, S.C.
- thanks for reading!

have a great trip!!!
Enjoy ♥
sounds like a great start! :D Have fun!!!
I know how you feel about the tea. In my own home, I have at least 15 varieties of loose tea, black or green or white or oolong, and I know how to brew it properly. But I know what you mean, I travel with my tea, an electric kettle, a water filtering pitcher, my own china mug and a small teapot. I can't go too long without a proper cup of tea. I have been known to ask for a pot of hot water at a restaurant and produce my own tea ball filled with my own tea. My daughter claims it's a miracle I haven't been arrested for possession of marijuana since I always have a packet of loose tea in my purse. My current favorites are Imperial Keemun and Scottish Breakfast.
Enjoy your vacation! I have to agree with your dad on the tea... no good cup of tea comes in a paper cup lol.
Look forward to seeing Ink Circles when you get back!
Sounds like your vacation is off to a great start, Dani--sorry about our tea :) I'm not a tea drinker at all, so I wouldn't know a good cup from a bad one!!
Hope you get some stitching time--Ink Circles is really coming along nicely :)
Have a great holiday :)
Hi Dani! It has been too long since I visited but see you are off on vacation. How fun. Charleston is beautiful. I am sure you will have a great time.
I am a Yorkshire tea gal myself. It is the only good tea for me. I do have to say your dad sounds a wise man...lol.
Hugs from Holland ~

I'm a loose tea fiend so I hear ya on the good tea thing.
I hope you have an awesome time Dani. Pampering yourself is what vacation is all about and you're off to a good start!
Have a lovely holiday, Dani. Your Cirque is beautiful.
