Are We Ready to Go?
Just one week until we fly out. Lots of details and loose ends to tie up: Confirm reservations, pack, make sure we aren’t violating TSA rules, practice a few essential French phrases (Nous sommes canadiens, Donnez-moi du vin tout de suite, Ou sont les toilettes?). We are beset by First World Problems and we know it. We are so grateful that we can take this trip; we are lucky to be able to do so. Still we are (okay, I am) anxious. But the anxiety will melt away once we are on our way. It will be a great adventure…

bored to death, desperate and have no life–you were speaking directly to me, here, right? Don’t worry about being a First World, spoiled American tourist just because you are. Just have a great timed, and don’t forget to post pictures.
Love y’all.
