Paris Here We Come

Semi busy with last details before leaving the country. Up to date on all bills, cleaned up the dog poo, checked the hot tub, made sure there is enough food for the dog, read up in Rick Steeves about how to get from airport to our hotel in Paris (bus, metro, walk), and checking and double checking to make sure we have everything we need. If we are true form, we will actually take more than we use, but better safe than sorry.

Current ten day forecast for Paris calls for temps in the 70's with some days having the possibility of showers. We will go prepared with rain ponchos and travel umbrellas. Rick Steeves also tells us that Paris is a pickpocket's delight so suggests keeping money and credit cards in a money belt around your waist or in a pouch suspended around your neck and inside your shirt or blouse. Good advice from him and we will heed it and hope not to have problems with the pickpockets.

Just a few last minute things to put into the suitcase and then on our way on the first leg of the journey tomorrow.
