{to sleep perchance to dream}

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

~mark twain

. . . one of the best things ever is to wake up at an insanely early hour and catch a flight to some wildly romantic, far-off place, even if it means a tiny cat-nap, mid-coffee in the airport lounge, moments before take-off . . .



{p.s.} and to p, thank you for being the best travelling companion in the world, and can not wait to make a million more memories on our next adventure . . .

{shopping: billykirk carryalls}

. . . one of the best things about springtime, besides the impossibly lovely blossoming trees, is that it leads to summer, and summer is where the heart belongs -- the luxurious, hazy sunshine, the long, sultry nights, and most of all, the romantic weekends away; and despite best intentions, have the most difficult time traveling light and so, always looking for new carryalls -- a current favourite is this waxed cotton & oiled leather no. 165 medium carryall, perfect for all the extra little things that couldn't possibly fit into the three bags already packed . . .

{p.s.} more favourites here & here
