on the way to.... Paducah

Tomorrow I am leaving with my friend Isabeau for Paducah
First we spend a few days in Nashville,
go to the grandold opry
and do some shopping at the quiltshops
near Nashville and cope with the jetlag.

After that we go with Country Heritage tours to Paducah.
We like to go on the tour,because it is easy,
it is so much trouble to find a hotelroom,etc.
I think it will be my 7th time for Paducah,
we will meet old friends , go to Hancock ( a few times) the Rotary show
and a lot more.

Now I have my suitcase packed and my cat Saartje want to go with us.
