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.

Exchanging for American dollars...you must just feel like you're throwing your money away...

Have a safe and marvelous trip!

Polt said...

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...

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.

Enjoy everything. Bring me back a present.

Patricia said...

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!

BTW, the US dollar is currently about worthless! I'm amazed they would bother with it onboard.

Hope you and Serge have a great, safe time.

Please take plenty of photos and don't take wooden nickles.

Er...right.

Bye.

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!

A Lewis said...

Pinch, pinch. Exactly where did you want the pinch? Happy and safe travels. Remember, we're all jealous.

You boys have a good time, and come back safe and sound. Sara and I will say a novena for your safe return.
Is she getting to stay somewhere that's fun for old dogs?
