I have a few trips coming up for family and work reasons. This means I will get to stay in various hotels or Airbnb's over the next few weeks so, obviously, I have to think about Suzzanne and what opportunities there may be. Once I fix in the dates, I'm like a cat on a hot tin roof, I feel myself getting so excited, I start to plan in my head what I need to do, what to pack, what dresses to take etc, etc. and start to really look forward to being able to dress without any distractions. My drab bag is a small gym type bag, Suzzanne's Fab bag is about 4 times as big, dresses, lingerie, wigs, shoes, the works! I can't quite believe how much girly stuff I choose to pack!

IFast forward to today.'My plans went awry as soon as I got here. I spent longer than expected with family so planned Suzzanne time was rapidly diminished to basically nothing :(. Dressing tonight was a none starter however, after a problem with my room, I'm now sleeping in the 'Penthouse Suite' at no extra charge. I've now got sooo much space it's unreal. I've an apartment booked next week, a hotel in Newcastle the week after and an Airbnb the week after that for a work course. Tonight may not have been great but it turned out OK so my excitement is building again that I can get some Suzzanne time tomorrow night. I'll then start to really look forward to my other scheduled trips. Maybe my bag will be a little bit lighter on these trips........!
