This evening we check into the hotel near the airport, and at 5:00AM tomorrow we'll take their shuttle to SFO. We arrive in Paris 7:20AM Friday, for four wonderful weeks.

I want to thank all of you for your help, humor, and comraderie. Planning the trip is half of the fun (and agony).

Words from this overpacker, as we leave the house for the last time, I always say, 'if we've forgotten it, we don't need it'.

I promise to post a trip report in October.

Merci,

Nina

LoveItaly, since you can't travel now and have never been to Paris, you will be coming along with us - in our thoughts.

You don't even have to pack, I've packed enough for both of us ;-)

Nina

Have a wonderful time. I have a lot of the same packing "issues" you do so I didn't post on that thread because I couldn't be very helpful. I'm sure you have everything you need. Looking forward to your report.

Bon Voyage, Nina, happy travels! And try to "forget" more this time - so, happy shopping!

Enjoy one of the finest cities in the world! 4 weeks! My heros!!

Hi Nina, thank you...I will be thinking of you two and so looking forward to your trip report. And four weeks, sigh, how delightful.

Hope you have a beautiful, fun, relaxing and safe trip. Enjoy every moment. And don't worry, I doubt you have forgotten anything LOL!!! Take good care. My best to you.

no,no,no... if you've forgotten it, you can BUY IT THERE !!

Hi Nina, I am right behind you and Ira. Leave on the 20th.

Have a safe and very happy trip.

Have a wonderful time - I can't wait to hear all about your trip!!

We're going to Paris on Saturday and are as excited as you are! Haven't been there for 30 years. Hope you have a wonderful trip - the weather looks great.

ggnga and muskova, have good flights and a wonderful stay. Bring rain gear ... rain is forcast starting later this week.

We are doing the night Segway tour on on the 14th, so we're keeping our fingers crossed. They go rain or shine, no refunds. Their website says that if it rains they give you ponchos. They _just_ told me that they don't have any ponchos YET, so we should bring our own rain gear. So if anyone else is taking one of their prepaid tours, be forewarned.

At least the poor pedestrian that I run over won't be able to identify me in a downpour

Has anyone invented teeny weeny windshield wipers for glasses????

I may be wet and cold but I'll be wet and cold in Paris - for the umpteenth time ... I just love being able to say that ;-)

Thanks for the good wishes.

Nina
