now only 14 days! Where has the time gone? We were going to be so organised ... fabulous week so far - breakfast on Wednesday with Phil and Chelle at Jean-Pierre Sancho, a little French patisserie in Hay St. After happily munching into Pain Au Chocolate and delicious Caffe au lait, we were presented with our gift for the trip. Such a great idea preloading the currency cards with euro, and also the cash. Helps get my head around what the currency looks like...

38 days to go. Picked up the tickets yesterday (now really starting to believe we are going!!!). Dave, our travel agent threw in a surprise - a tour of Paris at night - starting with dinner at the Eiffel Tower, followed by a cruise down the Seine, capped off with a show at Moulin Rouge. But wait, he also threw in a guided tour of Paris in a Citroën 2CV. Thanks so much Dave, you have outdone yourself. If you ever travel, must go see Dave.

40 days till we leave. Excitement and panic both setting in - so much to do and so little time. Meeting with Dave from Jetset Midland tomorrow to pick up tickets and ask all our last minute questions, well at least the first round of them.
