I'm off for a few days to catch up with two old friends...I've packed my little bag...(these days your only allowed to fly with one pair of knickers and a toothbrush. And God forbid you should be caught with a bottle of water!)... So I'm travelling light...got a few art supply's and it's summer, who needs knickers anyway...:P
I used to love travelling by air, now I hate it...your herded like cattle and then you have to nearly strip down to the buff to go through passport control...second thoughts...big granny knickers to travel in I think...then it's a rugby scrum to see who can get on the plane first....grrrrr. Wish I could just wriggle my nose and ploufff...snap my fingers and I'm there...where I want to be...wouldn't that be magic!
No I'm flying budget airline....so I've sharpened my elbows, been practising my glare (no-one will be pushing past me)...I could win a gold medal with my glare...and I've been on a diet so I can squeeze my little self into a small budget sized seat... der...I'm travelling alone so I think I will just wait till the last minute and wander gracefully onto the plane looking elegant and refreshed...only then I'll be sitting next to red sweaty person that barged their way on first....um...what to do...? and I used to worry about how many bikini's to pack...
so dear bloggy friends, wish me Bon Voyage and I'll tell you all about my Fun and Nonsense when I get back...xxx

Loving your pretty painting Catherine and was shocked you could only take one pair of knickers...cripes.....are you allowed to buy some out there and bring them back? Hope you have a lovely time with your friends, Annette x
She is adorable! And I agree with everything you said about air travel. It's a downright pain. I wonder if I can find a magic carpet for sale on eBay? ;-)
Glad to read you've got your priorities in order; pack the art goodies, and forget the knickers. (Maybe you could wear an extra pair or two, might help blur the x-ray machines vision?)
Love the art ~ I am picturing your sharp, pointy elbows just under the sleeves....
Oh this is cute.
Haha! I hope you have a great trip! and get lots of seat room :)
Bon voyage, Catherine. Try not to worry. Plain rides are definitely more unpleasant than they used to be for sure, but when I have to take one (which I'll be doing later this week) I just try to focus on what I'll be doing after I land. It really does help because it's a reminder that those intrusive patdowns and tiny seats are worth the trouble. I'll be off this coming Thursday to catch up with old friends too. So excited so I hope we both have a great time.
Also I love your stylish little jet setter, especially her oversize sunnies. And what a doll face she's got.
Bon Voyage ~ I agree used to love to travel by air ~ not fun anymore ~ Your art work is lovely as usual ~ Have fun on your trip ~ (A Creative Harbor)
such a cute sketch! Have a great trip!
Your self portrait is adorable..good luck getting on the plane...last time I flew I became so absorbed drawing the people in the waiting area that they had to call my name to get me to board. I almost missed my flight being totally oblivious. I had an assigned seat so sauntering on as the last flyer was sort of cool. I'm usually first in line for everything.
I love your cute girl, all ready to travel with mostly art supplies! My kind of girl! Enjoy the time with your friends!
yes, flying is quite the experience these days! ugh,
so cute, your entire post, art and words. good journey to you. I am trying to decide what art supplies to take on an upcoming trip...
It can be very stressful. I hate all the queuing - the worst is queuing to check in... keep your cool by sketching your lovely girls while in the queues!!
so cute, have a great time!
That was the cutest travel story! AND PIP! She's adorable. She looks just like my sis :) Have fun, be safe and travel nicely! hehe
Have a great trip and I know what you mean about flying! I'd rather do a road trip!
Hope the sharpened elbows have done their magic and you coated on board looking refreshed and cool... have agreat trip...xx
Have a fantastic time! Enjoy your trip.
Cute illustration to send off with as well!
