Had to skip days in preparation for today’s adventure. My first vacation in six years. I’ve got a brand new notebook and new pens and an itchy writing finger. I hope them to be filled, emptied, and scratched.

The last few weeks have been some of the most draining in my life. I hope that this means I’m ready to be filled with inspiration.

I’m off to what is my dream vacation. You may keep your beaches, your mountains, your ancient cities for now. I shall be eating and learning at the Food and Wine Festival.

Can’t wait to be inspired!
