Preparing For Our Trip

T-minus-17 days until we leave! On May 9, my oldest son, Seth, and I will be flying to Paris to begin our European Adventure! We will be visiting Paris, London, The West Midlands (we have family there), and Dublin over the course of 18 days! Over the past 3 years I have been gathering points via various credit cards in preparation for this trip. We are waiting to hear from British Airways as to whether we will be able to upgrade our trans-Atlantic flights for more comfort. Fingers crossed!

Our travel agent, Rick Strong of Results! Travel has been invaluable in arranging everything, including airport transfers, skip the line passes for major attractions, hotels, air and trains. I have been using Visit A City, a wonderful website recommended by my friend Kathy, to plan our sightseeing. I always like to leave at least one day for spontaneous adventures in each destination. Stay tuned for pictures and reports of our escapades, and especially the delicious food and wine we will experience!

We both plan to travel carry-on only, so I am now in the process of deciding on my travel wardrobe. Everything needs to go with everything else to expand my options. I’ve always traveled this way, but never for this long a period of time! Check back for pictures of my final packing to see if I make it!

Thanks for checking in and keep stopping back, especially as we get closer to our trip! A bientot!
