Riga-Jig Jig and Away We Go

My Mom had a song for everything. When I was little and we did a road trip we sang and sang and sang. "Detour there's a bumpy road ahead, detour", "Riga-Jig Jig and Away We Go" were a few. I loved road trips with my Mom. I would lay in the back seat with my feet out the window and we would sing and sing and sing. Well today I am starting my packing and I am getting ready to go off to HAWAII!!!!! I have always wanted to go and now I am going.

We have rented a condo on Maui. I am quite excited. Not sure about our abode but it will be fine I am sure. I fear that we are spoilt because last year we rented a house in St. Lucia with a pool and a view of Marigot Bay. We could sit and watch sailing ships and small cruisers of the rich and famous come and go. AH!!! was grand.

Okay enough about last year in St. Lucia - this year - Hawaii. We have the condo - check; we have the flights to Hawaii - check; flights to Vancouver - check; rent a car - check.

So now to pack - what to bring - not too much - not allowed many pounds. Oh my! It is hard to choose. So now I have this all laid out ready to go - I have checked und double checked - what is that in my pile of clothes A CAT!!!! NO NO you are not going and this is not your new "bed"
