Footwear Part II

The shoes that I bought recently, the ones that are giving me blisters, are still going to make the cut when I downsize my luggage by half (something I always do toward the end of my packing process). I figure some blister blockers should make them usable. However, the quest for the comfortable sandal option has proven to be a bit tricky. Attractive sandal options out there? Yes. Comfortable sandal options out there? Fewer, but yes. Attractive and comfortable sandal options? Difficult to find.

Here is a pair that I found first at Macy's for a pretty penny, then and DSW for a reduced price, then at TJ Maxx for a deep discount. Cute little sandals and quite comfy too. Excellent.

Then here's an option I stumbled on today. They're very comfortable and reasonably attractive. A little pricey for my pocket, even on sale. We'll see.

How many pairs of shoes am I going to bring? No idea.

Pack light!
Pack light?
Yes, pack light!
It's really hard for some of us though.

Icelandair: Humphrey

Icelandair (our airline) is handled by Sun Country and is located in the Humphrey terminal, not Lindbergh (the main terminal). It will be nice flying out of this one because it's smaller and not as hectic (read: easier for us to gather, harder for us to lose one of our group members). Usually the security checkpoints are shorter as well. Now, that being said if a whole bunch of people happen to be flying Southwest or Sun Country, it will be one crowded little airport lobby.

Mrs. Cardona's New Obsession

So I just discovered this site ielanguages and I might be playing around on this for next next few hours. I love languages and I'm rusty when it comes to French pronunciation, so this is exciting stuff. Go check it out!

Down at the bottom of my blog's main page, I have posted a list of common/helpful phrases for you.

Assignment

Your first big blog assignment is as follows:

1. Write a list by Tuesday, May 25: Top 5 Things I'm Looking Forward to in Europe
2. Explain each one with a bit more than a sentence or two. Let's hear your voice!
3. Include at least one image.
4. Include at least two links.
5. Check out everyone else's blogs. Read them and comment on at least three of them by our next meeting.

I'll see you at the last meeting before the trip:

Footwear?

J-41 shoes. Adventure on!

Picked up these shoes at DSW for the trip (and for regular use) and after I break them in a bit they should be pretty comfy. Still looking for a more sandaly option. Ok, let's be honest, I have plenty of shoes that could work but I'm using this as an excuse to get new shoes... Guilty.

So I'm in the process of breaking in these bad boys and while they're supportive and cushy on the bottom, they're eating away at my heels and the cris-cross action is a little on the tight side for my thick little feet.
