We are entering preparation mode. Boychild traded in his cast for a travelling one that he can take off for bathing or security. He totally looks like a terrorist and has that mischievous glint in his eye. I finished up some school papers that are due while we're gone, so I'm a little bit ahead; hopefully I won't be too far behind when we return. I'm planning on doing a bit of work while we're gone. We have our plane seats, our train tickets to Paris, and are ordering our London and Paris passes online tomorrow. Everyone has shoes and electronics, and we have directions to our apartment. We also have some cool travel apps on the phones and ipod, but welcome recommendations on ones we should get! Tomorrow - last minute shopping, banking, etc. -- then packing!
