Countdown to plane day has started! Théo and Vivi are vibrating with excitement.
Packing lightly, however, for the next three months, is for me no easy task. I have been known to be “over-prepared”. Perhaps wisdom may be found in the following quotations:
- “When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money”. Susan Heller
- “He who would travel happily must travel light”. Antoine de St. Exupery
Meanwhile, Vivianne performed one last time before putting the violin away for three months. Apparently, frequent travel and high humidity can wreak havoc on this little instrument. We will miss hearing her practice.

Odette, we have a half size violin that we bought at a pawn shop for $99. You could take that with you if you want – it wouldn’t matter much if it got broken. I think it needs a string or something but it’s usable…
Hi Joni,
Thanks so much for the offer! I think that we’ve decided it’s best to just travel without a violin for now, although we will miss it. We do however have recorded Suzuki music for Vivi to listen to.
