Hanging Out In Amsterdam

This time I started preparing for my trip to France to teach a painting workshop a week in advance. I was determined not to be packing until midnight the night before I flew to Europe. So this trip I wasn't up till midnight packing. Instead I went to sleep at 1 am!

I wanted to get everything into a small carry on tote and a 22" suitcase, but since the weather in France will be warmer in the south and cool in Paris I packed lots of layers of clothing. Then my suitcase wouldn't close so I had to elimate some stuff. Around midnight I tossed 2 sketchbooks and books and who knows what else. But, I am hanging out in the Amsterdam airport now with Eileen, waiting for the plane to France and it's all good.
