You’re helping just by getting me to think about it, Goodbear. The thing is, I take hours to write an entry. This means either that writing is my true vocation, or that I have way too much time on my hands.
Anywho, one thing I could do is to start some of the entries ahead of time. We have a fairly well developed itinerary already, so I could prepare the common-knowledge research bits, like I did for Tahuna Torea or the Mazinaw Rock paintings. Then when we get to Paris I can fill in the fun real-life details and the way I felt about this or that, and include illustrative photos.
Hmmm… You’ve given me an inspiration for a game! You see, yoklfm dodlll sieonkdlall idiod di ajod….hee hee hee…

With your eye for the things others don’t see, Livingisdetail, you’re bound to make a mint!

Yes, Shelley, I’m starting to count days… for both events…

Well, Goodbear, I’d be a cad to refuse seven exclamation marks! E.g. will be taking the pics, Urban Thought, though I’m sure she’ll let me borrow some, as always. I think I’ll try “post card” entries, like Goodbear and Checkers often post; I’ll practise writing a few this month before we go.

Well, Eyegillian, obviously if I’m getting too many bills, I would like to see a change in spending habits. That was quite the convoluted comment you put together!

When you think about it, even though coins are easier to spend without thinking about it, it’s more fun to save coins than to save paper money. After all, which sounds better to you: “change”, or “bills” (all things being equal, of course)? Saving common cents makes good sense to me… and a great big pile of pennies looks soooo impressive!

Yes, please blog while on your travels. Not to take away from your fun of course. And lots of pics.

It is amazing the way that it grows isn’t it?

Chris and I have “segregated” jars - one for pennies - which goes to the KICX penny drive each December (along with some folding money).

The nickels dimes and quarter go in a ceramic container that once held dog biscuits, and loonies and toonies get tossed in a Cardigan trophy.

When you just do it a bit at a time it doesn’t hurt - and it is fascinating how fast hundreds can add up.

Thankfully it was there when needed for an emergency when we were out of town once!

PS - Counting days yet?

That is amazing lavenderbay! Come to think of it I do see a few 5c pieces dropped on the ground when I am out walking. I’m going to be on the lookout for them now.
