Sweden!

Hi!

So, I am going to Croatia from June 9 thru June 26. My dear friend Jen has been a family friend for years. She has two Russian daughters who I get to have fun with. They are Natalia and Neva, both very sweet. It is by Jen and my parents good graces that I get to go on this fabulous trip. Jen has a huge family reunion going on there and invited me to come! Our plan is to sail, swim, eat good food, bathe in the sun, study amazing landscapes . . . ADVENTURE!!!! I will keep you all updated on this, make y'all jealous, haha!

My itinerary going to Croatia:

Flight to Dubrovnik
Depart SFO UA Flight 972 9:45AM Arrive Chicago 3:49PM JUNE 10
Depart CHICAGO UA Flight 942 6:02PM Arrive Paris 9:25AM JUNE 11
Depart PARIS CROATIA AIR Flight 477 11:35AM Arrive Dubrovnik 1:50 PM

And then I will be in Sweden the 26th thru the 28th. I will be taking care of five horses that are Parelli-style while a family goes to to their summer home 250 km away.

I will basically horse-sit! So happy! I

I found the family on the Savvy Club and they were looking for a Level 2 graduate. Here is their website translated to English:

If you click the link, you can see pictures of the horses.

I have no idea what to expect, except a major learning experience. I can't wait to ride!!! I will be attending a two-day clinic with a Parelli instructor named Erika. Here is her translated website - she has a great photo gallery!:

Today I went shopping for clothes to go traveling!!!! I can't remember the last time I shopped but it felt great. I'm now trying to start a list of things to bring to Croatia but I tend to overpack. Trying to decide whether it would be too much to bring my carrot stick or not?

On Final note: My brown 17' Wintec Wide Saddle is still for sale. I have a girth that goes with it and just make me an offer if you want.

SAVVY ON!
