(Meaning Goodbye in Norwegian.)  Next week, E and I are headed to Norway for three weeks with my Dad, stepmother, sister and neice.  We will be traveling through the Fjords for two and a half weeks and ending our trip visiting our cousins at their lake house on the island of Hvasser.  While I am wildly excited to have this amazing opportunity and special family time my heart is breaking at the thought of leaving my little Louie Taco behind.  Three weeks is a looong time for a seven year old to be away from their mommy— and it might be even longer for her mommy to be away from her.  But I know that she is in good hands with Daddy-  he’s got quite the agenda planned!

The other stress factor for me was what to pack?!?  We will be on a ship for two and a half weeks so we will need to pack lightly.  The average temperatures can be anywhere from 20 degrees to 80 degrees. Packing for this trip requires a serious strategy!  I think I’ve finally got it all figured out.
