Prune

When I told a friend that I was taking a prune to Paris I received, and rightly so, a very quizzical look. Why in the world would you take dried fruit to Paris? Surely you can buy a prune there if needed.

Well in explanation prune is really a lovely made-up name for "pre-honeymoon"... proper spelling is proon, but it is pronounced the same way as the word for a dried plum.

Roger and I have a lot of traveling to do this year: London in April to attend a wedding, Maine in July to attend a wedding, and Mexico in November... you guessed it... to attend a wedding. So it seems highly unlikely that we will have enough time and resources to take a real honeymoon of our own in 2008. Fortunately for us we were able to take three days in Paris for a mini-break in the middle of the first wedding celebration of the year! Thus our prune to Paris (OK, and London, but we would have been there anyways for Dani's wedding.)
