Let’s see — we altered our flight going to our destination by one day (earlier) a few weeks ago. That wasn’t TOO stressful for me, since I knew it meant an extra day.

But these past few days? Kinda stressful: I reserved a hotel and after looking at the area (thank you Google maps!) I canceled it because it looked like the business district and the hotel itself seemed very cold. I was about to reserve another hotel (in another city) and rethought that, thankfully, before I actually made the reservation.

Today we talked about changing more plans, and I’m pretty sure we will alter things in a somewhat major way. This means I have to cancel a flight (because we are flying elsewhere) and cancel yet another hotel, and I need to move our “hey, we have a washer/dryer combo” VRBO place up by three or four days if the owners will allow for that.

This is why I always make sure I only make reservations that I can cancel. We have been known to make plans and then change our minds.

I think, though, that I will stop making any reservations at all until we are absolutely certain we know what we are doing. Okay, we are never absolutely certain, I suppose. Still, I’m not good with these changes and my stomach is now in knots!

BUT I will now share a wee bit of information regarding our first destinations: our first flights are to Frankfurt and then Paris (It was cheaper to do that than fly directly to Paris), where we spend only a couple of days. Kind of funny that when I changed my flight I received a credit for something like $4. Yeah. Really.

The trip still feels a bit like a dream. I won’t believe it’s happening until we are on the first flight, I’m sure.
