On a note more upbeat than the thought of roasting parents, our favorite vacation was spent with Mrs.L's sil, bil, kids and dog houseboating on the Canal du Midi in SE France.

I would HIGHLY recommend checking it out for a most relaxing and pleasant holiday.

This travel talk is making me want to hire an arsonist to finish this house, buy a boat and live on it.

Portiragnes

In Portiragnes you will discover the friendly village life in the South of France, and will be able to enjoy games of petanque, whilst getting to know your neighbors, or take a walk through the olive trees and vineyards to the nearby Canal du Midi, recently acclaimed by UNESCO as one of the global heritage wonders of the world, or visit the 12th century church.

The village is thriving with small businesses, keeping it lively all year round. It is rich with old and pleasant village streets full of character, and the color of the old stone walls. It is here that you will find your home – Le Moulin de la Mer, in amongst olive trees and the warmth of Portiragnes.

That looks like a lovely place to go but I won't be going for a while, what with that new car payment (haven't had a car payment in ten years and it sure did hurt to write that first one!). If I can't get there in my new car I won't be going. ;-)
