Bon Voyage

Well, here it is. The last day before we go. It's also the last blog post for a couple days. (at least) We don't leave until tomorrow afternoon, but I'll be a bag of stress until then. We'll spend five nights in Paris and then fly to Rome on Tuesday to catch the boat for the 12 night cruise. In fact our ship is outfitted with two cameras broadcast to the web. You can see where we are and what we are seeing by accessing the web cam here.

I've got one last lesson to give this morning, then I've got to turn in the paperwork at the head office, then stop at the bank for some US dollars (that's the currency on the ship, so we'll need some for tips and for the casino) and then head over to MIL's house for an early dinner and to drop off the dog.

Pinch me, it's really happening.

Au revoir, adios, arrivaderci, goodbye.

  9. WOW! have a great trip. Don't stress too much, that'll mess up your digestive system, and if there's one thing you don't want to while in Europe, it's irregular. :)

    Take a lot of photos for us!

    HUGS...

  13. Chill dude!
    Savour every moment of the trip. Especially the moments you share with Serge.
    Have some gelato for me. Nocciolo (hazlenut) is my fave. Then walk through the park, past Villa Borghesi, gelato melting in the hot Roman sun.
    Be one with the Romans, laugh like children and toast the good times.

  16. I'm giddy for you. I read and reread five nights in Paris and then fly to Rome just to let it take my breath away again. Do I sound like a freak? I don't care!

    Smooches to Sara who's getting spoiled at Grandma's and hugs to you both.

    Go make wonderful memories!

  24. Looks like the web cam is down...hope that doesn't mean the boat blew up, or got eaten by a giant squid. I also hope that doesn't happen to you. Have fun!
