some sense of stuff to do and when we could do it in NOLA!
took me a while to sit down and actually fit the puzzle pieces together of hours/availability and whatever else. got distracted by a bunch of family stuff as well as the news i needed to plan for an unexpected pacific northwest trip in june (had to lock down hotel reservations and flight details ASAP, which meant sketching out some sense of what we'd be doing and how long we'd want to be there). still need to get the car in tip top shape and finalize some housekeeping details, but it's coming together given how long i procrastinated.
...the unspoken awesome anytime-schedulin' treat here is to see Karin and Paul! excited and nervous.
