Yes, I'm still hanging around, but only for a couple more days. We leave Wednesday.

IG, OUCH! Good luck with your surgery. Watch out for the pain killers....I "flew" all over the neighborhood when I had my last dental surgery. To this day I can remember the sensation of flying!

Yikes, y'all! I've been anticipating this trip for 6 months, but now I haven't even packed! All heck broke loose these last few days....I was supposed to be totally packed by now. I do a terrible job if I don't have plenty of time....I would end up lugging the kitchen sink all over France! Given proper time, I manage pretty well. I'm only taking one 24" suitcase for 17 days. (Lots of Woolite, too!). So I'm taking the next two days off and plan to go over my packing very carefully. (I'm starting to get nervous, too.....why? I don't know).

Hi, I'm back. Mr. M is busy at the laundrette, and insisted I return to the internet cafe to say hi to the Guild (whatta guy). I brought two pairs of slacks (wearing one, of course!) five tops (one a turtleneck), and a sweater. Brought that tablet-style laundry detergent (Wisk, I think). Each of us has one small-medium piece of luggage, plus I have the small backpack I'm using as a purse. So far, it looks just right. I almost could do without one of the tops, even. Don't forget your converter/adapter. Woo hoo, this is fun. See you Sunday.

Please leave the sink at home - they've got sinks in Europe as well as cleaners and laundries. We lightened our load considerably upon discovering that most all European hotels offer overnight clothes' cleaning and pressing service for their guests.

Leave the good jewlery and watches at home - have a ball. ;-)
