Vacation plans

[xp_tarot]

Doug and I will be away from June 23rd until July 7th.

In specific, if I am reading this set of tickets right, we are flying to Lyons on the 23rd, then to Denver on the 30th and then back here on the 7th.

Doug - I have no idea if my parents and your parents have been in contact with each other. I suspect they have, since I have the tickets in my email in-box as e-tickets. Do you know? Did you find your passport? PLEASE tell me you found your passport.

Yes, I have my passport, love. Just got it in the mail today.

Oh good.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Excellent. Do you have any idea if our parents spoke?

Re: Oh good.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

I _think_ they did. Not sure.

Re: Oh good.

Humour me and ask? I am afraid to ask mine. I have a horrible dooming fear that my mother was involved somehow and now your parents think mine are insane.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Hey, that's . . . the day after tomorrow. Have fun. :)

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Yes. Much with the packing frantically and wondering how much of my father's frequent flyer miles went into those tickets.

I expect I shall be getting a lecture from at least one parent on last-minute-planning.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

That would explain the multilingual laundry storm, then, I'd wondered about that.

Yes.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Yes. I like how Doug starts talking to his in random languages. I think he is trying to coax the parts that have become sentient into volunteering to walk themselves to the laundry room.

Re: Yes.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's always a fun show. S' why I don't bug him about actually doing his laundry before it discovers the wheel.

Re: Yes.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

I am one to talk, to be honest. I have sorely neglected mine.

Re: Yes.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Ah, but you're going home. And it's traditional, or so my cousins say, to present your mother with a large bag of dirty laundry when you arrive home from being at school somewhere else.

Re: Yes.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Somehow, I doubt that will work quite so well with my mother.

Also, I rather enjoy clean clothing, and as I have - at the moment - none, except the leather pants, and I absolutly cannot in any way wear those home, I am off to the laundry room.

Besides, there is something terribly comforting about warm socks.

Re: Yes.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Warm socks are one of the world's most underrated pleasures.

And hey, you could always tell her "well, at least I didn't dye my hair blue like my boyfriend's roommate suggested once." That might make the leather pants look less shocking. :)

Re: Yes.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

I think I am going to stick to broken-in-jeans and a blouse. Leather pants are not really suitable for extended standing in immigration lines.

Re: Yes.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Good point. Extended standing anywhere, really. But especially in immigration lines where you don't know who's standing behind you and whether they were raised with manners.

Re: Yes.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Also, I am fairly sure that Doug will need all the blood in his -brain- and not anywhere else. He has to do as much standing-in-lines as I do.

Re: Yes.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

And he has to remember to speak French. So, yeah, blood in brain good.

Re: Yes.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

You know, in Doug's case, I am not sure if it is a matter of remembering.

I am almost certain that there are immigration officers who speak English, even if it was a problem.

Re: Yes.

[x-crowdofone.livejournal.com]

Well, he has to remember not to speak Proto-Ugaric, then, or something. :)

And yeah, but I bet they're nicer if you speak the language. Because at least you're trying, right?

[x-blink.livejournal.com]

have fun!

[xp_daytripper]

Looks like I'll have to make sure I find you and give you your prezzie before you go then. ;) Have fun.
