Ira's Off To France
 

All our bags are packed, we're ready to go...

We're leavin' on a jet plane...

AF 307 to Paris at 21:35.

Thanks to all who have helped us plan this trip.

We fly into Bordeaux for a few days, then off for a motor trip to Carcassone, Albi, Gorges du Tarn, Figeac, Cahors, Beynac for most of a week and then train to Paris out of Libourne.

Trip report when we return.

Have a wonderful trip! Look forward to reading your report

Have a great trip Ira! Looking forward to your report...

If you get the chance, please stop by and make sure the house martens have fled the premises in St-Cirq.

Don't stint on the foie gras!

Bon Voyage!

Bon voyage, Ira! We're counting on a good trip report and photos, as we're planning to cover similar ground next June.

Have a superb trip. We will be in France about the same time, but in Burgundy/Franche Compte. It is comforting to know that you are there, gathering experience to be an even better mentor on Fodors.

We need to thank you for all your assistance on this thread while prepering for our trip -- not so much for the factual information, but for your always positive and good humored attitude.

Have a wonderful trip Ira. I've been meaning to let you (and others) know how much I've appreciated all the wonderful advice given in this thread - so useful in planning our trip to Paris and Italy. We leave NEXT Tuesday for Paris, Umbria, Positano, Capri and Rome - shaping up to be a trip of at least our lifetime - so far.

Thanks again,

KC

Dear Ira,

Thanks for letting us know so we know in which direction to send our good wishes.

Knoxvillecouple,

You lucky ducks. Buon Viaggio a voi!

I hope you and your LW have a wonderful trip.

I can’t wait to read your trip report. I am sure that some details on foie gras and French pastries will be included in your report.

Have a good time.

Hi Ira, I'm right behind you. Leave on the 20th.

Have a safe and very happy trip.

Have a wonderful trip with your LW, Ira. Looking forward to hearing all about it when you return.

Bon voyage, Ira. I am really looking forward to re-living my trip vicariously through your descriptions, although it will be a shame to read about all the great places (and restaurants)we missed.

What will Madison do without you??

Have a great trip Ira. We follow you on Sep 30th.

Have an awesome trip! We will all eagerly await your trip report.

Ira Have a great trip. Where did you find the time to plan your own trip when you're so busy helping the rest of us with our itineraries??!! :) Thank you for all your advice and Bon Voyage! Can't wait to read all about it. ((i))

Have a wonderful time..as if you wouldd do otherwise!!

Can't wait for your trip report...with pictures, please.. as we are thinking of just about the same route for next fall!

I hope you have a wonderful time, and we can't wait to hear about it after you return. I'll be following, 3 weeks from today!

Wishing you safe travels, enjoy every minute of your trip. Deborah

< then off for a motor trip > Just remember, All roads to to Cahors! You will see what I mean when you get there. You may want to consider a detour for a few hours in Sarlat--beautiful little village.
Have fun!

Have a great trip! Look forward to your report.

Hope you have an absolutely wonderful trip! I'll be looking forward to reading all about it when you return!

Enjoy!

hI, Ira;

Just adding my voice to the chorus of those wishing you a safe and fun-filled trip full of new experiences that will make happy memories. And, like the others, I'm eager to see your trip report!

Oops, meant to say ... All roads lead to Cahors.

Bon Voyage !
I look forward to that trip report!!

Ira, please, we all know you're flying to Paris to check on the staff at the Hotel Bonaparte!

Have a great time, and we all await your trip report!

Hi Ira,

Thank you for all your classy advise. Have a wonderful trip! We will be in Paris on October 3rd through the 7th. Would love to meet you sometime.

Karen

Ira: Enjoy, enjoy... Wishing you good health and sunny skies. We'll miss your sage advice while you're gone.

Have a wonderful trip. You will be visiting some of our favorite places.

We are leaving for Paris tomorrow and who knows ... we may pass each other on the street.

Wear your shoes on the plane - no bare socks on the floor YUCK.... ;-)

Bon Vacance,

Nina

Bon voyage!

Bon Voyage, Ira! I demand a toast to Fodorites during your trip :)

Bon voyage! Except for Paris, you're going to places I've never been, and I'll look forward to hearing about them!

Happy, happy trip to you!

jusqu'à ce que nous nous réunissions encore

a la Fodors!

Have the best time...

We can hardly wait for your return and your graphic descriptions. Be careful not to spill all that food on your pink running suit!

Looking forward to your trip report, especially the great (unknown) places to eat that you will surely find. And I especially hope for no high twisty windy roads for your wife.

Mama

Wishing you both a grand adventure.

Bon voyage!
