Perceptions of France seemed to have a bit of a disconnect.


"France has neither winter nor summer nor morals. Apart from these drawbacks it is a fine country." —Mark Twain

before the trip

So, one week from today I will be sitting on a plane bound for the Charles DeGaulle International Airport.

Things to do before I leave:
-Pack everything
-Register with the American Embassy
-Register for international insurance
-Figure out how to make my cell phone work
-Buy host family gift
-Figure out how to get from Paris to Lux with all my luggage
-Buy plane ticket for first weekend in Barcelona
-Make sure nick will wake up in time to pick me up at the airport at 7 am ;)

Clearly, we are a long ways from prepared. Hope everyone enjoys the blog!
