SO- Jordmaster got us tix to FRANCE for my birthday gift!! For the past few years I’ve been dying to go back. After almost 11 years together, that boy knows me well– he bought the tickets and nothing else, knowing that I’d want to micromanage the entire trip. I’m not going to deny it. Control freak, right here (pointing to myself). Well, maybe this trip will help me let go of that.. a little bit. ok, who are we kidding — Not too much. I’d like to have an idea of what will happen, but want to approach the voyage with a sense of adventure and excitement.

We hope to travel to the South of France, after just a day or two in Paris. On our itinerary– sleeping well, eating well, laughing, eating some more, holding hands, shopping (shhh), reading, sleeping, eating more, laughing more, and maybe holding hands a little bit more. Get the drift? Relaxation to the max degree.

I’ve been twice before, but first at age 14, and then again, just for 2 days after college graduation… on shoestring budget… AKA horrendous pizza buffets and baguettes for every meal (maybe it wasn’t that bad now that I think about it!). We’ve climbed the Eiffel tower and devoured snails (ok, maybe swallowed them whole), stayed on Mont St.Michel, toured the Louvre and Versailles… This time around will be different.

Where should we go?! What should we see?!
