One of the best things about going away is most definitely having your presence missed by the people you love most...
This is especially heart warming as I went to great lengths to return with gifts to match their unwavering friendship. What did I bring back? Probably not what my fellow card carrying vegetarians would...Italian smoked sausages. Yes, I realize this plays out as a conflict of interest, but I know what my girls love...MEAT. I am also giving myself a pass on the grounds that it would make my late Baba very proud. Of all the things I could ever get in hot water for, smuggling an entire suitcase full of products that were strictly prohibited on the customs form that I neglected to properly fill out, would most definitely bring a smile to her face. And I was right - Jolana nearly flipped her bean at the sight of it...
Unfortunately, I didn't anticipate the repercussions of such a bold act of love. Yes, just like all my other good deeds, this too has gone punished. Only this time in the form of my brand new Jimmy Choo stilettos wreaking of smoked meat. Lovely.
Most importantly, a huge congratulations to my sister and Chris on their incredible Italian wedding! What an amazing experience - pictures soon to follow...
