If this trip had a playlist...

You can’t listen to it on this blog, sadly, but we’ll be listening to it as we take off on August 18. If you have suggestions for additions, let us know—I’d love to expand the list. (Some of these songs are included here for reasons that will be obvious, and in other cases the reasoning will seem a bit more obscure….I’m not going to try to explain!)
