A Bon Voyage Guest Post from PvE!

I am so fortunate to have a bevy of amazing bloggers stepping in for me while I am traveling. 

My first guest post is a special treat courtesy of the supremely talented artist and blogger, Patricia Van Essche, of PvE Design, who prepared an amazing bon voyage for me along with some helpful travel tips. When I saw the artwork she included in her guest post I couldn't help but smile from ear to ear...they are quite simply PERFECT! Thank you, Patricia, for the gorgeous original artwork, your words of wisdom and, most of all, for your friendship! 

 While Sandy is wandering to Asia, I thought I would offer to be a guest here so that she could enjoy her time away from her duties of posting.  Whenever I travel, I seem to keep my eyes focused on landing and always love to have bright matching luggage to greet me on the other side.  A fun happy color like red or orange is easy to find in a sea of dark drab luggage.

Travel Gear for the flight there is so important

 Passport

Tickets or a copy

Toiletries

Travel notebook & Pen

Handi-sanitary wipes in a lovely lemony scent

Toothbrush

Toothpaste

Fresh breath mints

Eyemask for shut-eye

Reading material, a book or device of choice

Tech gear, head phones, adapter

Clean socks for plane

Shawl for warmth

Clothing is always personal but for travel, simple pieces that are knit seem to work best and then a jacket for layering and always a trusty trench in case of rain.

Taste of  Asia

It is so important to taste new cuisine when one travels and I am in hopes that Sandy and her family are tasting some dim sum, pork buns, tea, crispy duck and congee.  I loved congee for breakfast when I traveled to Hong Kong.  Taste new things!

I hope Sandy is enjoying her trip and time away and will come back with lots of inspiration to share.

Bon Voyage!
