Preparation

Translated literally from the French the title of my blog means "Good-bye", but as an interjection it means: safe journey! safe trip! godspeed! The meaning of those two simple words reminds me of the Irish toast: "May the road rise with you and the wind be ever at your back." With a Celtic/Franco cheer I say, "Let the journey begin!"

I am traveling with my friend Mary, and we have been friends since we were six years old. I am grateful to have such a steadfast, loyal companion at home and on the road.

Stay tuned!

Bon Voyage!
