Going to France. Tomorrow!

Holy crap, my head is spinning.  We were just given a trip to France from my FIL!  It was going to be a surprise trip for he and my step-MIL, but he has been sick for the past week and decided today that they won't be able to go.  The majority of the trip is non-refundable, so he'd rather us use it than it go to waste.

This is so bittersweet.  I am so incredibly grateful that they are giving us this once-in-a-lifetime trip, but I truly truly truly wish they were able to go.

DH and I are both able to take off work, we got boarding reservations for the dogs ... everything seems to be working out, but I have never gone on such a last minute trip so I'm sure I'll forget something!  And I'm at work right now, so I can't really get a start on packing.

This is what we're doing: The Luberon Experience 

So surreal.  I need to start a to do list ....

  • Thanks, guys!  DH is excited b/c his dad is letting us take their SLR, so there will be LOTS of pictures :)

    We got so lucky.  My passport is still in my maiden name, but I was planning to get it changed before we leave for our Mexico trip at the end of July.  I was literally AT the post office yesterday during lunch waiting in line to mail in the change documents, which include my maiden name passport.  I decided the line was too long and left.  Had I put it in the mail yesterday, I would be passportless and wouldn't be able to go!

  • Wow!  That is so great!   I feel sorry for your FIL for being sick! But it's great that the trip is  being put to good use! 

  • What an incredible opportunity!  While it's definitely last minute, once you get packed and get there, you are going to have such a good time.  Enjoy yourself.  Safe travels!

  • Wow!  Have fun!

    Pack warm clothes.  I'm not sure where exactly you'll be, but I went to Paris and Strasbourg several years ago in April and all I thought was "springtime in Paris!" with skirts and sundresses, etc.  yeah, no!  It was freezing!  I was not prepared.

    Flying into Paris, but the majority of our visit will be in the Luberone, which is in southern France (Provence).  Forecast looks like upper 70s all week.  I will be packing stuff I can layer though!

  • How awesome! Have a great time!
