making a list.....

ok, so.....we are in countdown mode....i am taking the fewest personal items ever before schlepped to a foreign country.....i also have no hour-by-hour agenda.....not because i am unable to whip one up.....but because my spouse asked me nicely if on this trip we could browse rather than march through the sites......and i while i do know what days which sites are open....and what they cost...i have no agenda save for saturday's rendezvous with the l.o. and the l.o.'s s.o......got that?.......though i will be gone from my office for a week.....few have spoken of this trip...and i understand amongst my spouses' friends even less has been said.....one would think we were going to purgatory rather than paris.....but i contend that going to paris to see one's child is much different than going on a luxury vacation to an exotic locale....especially since i have yet to see paris on a lavish budget.....my spouse told me today that when one of his closest friends made yet another comment about our extravagant trip....he told this person that i was likely to spend less on this vacation than this person would spend taking 2 people to disneyworld for the same number of days.........ah well.....enough ranting about people who don't go far afield.....i plan to enjoy myself....eat well....drink wonderful wine....and take lots of good pictures.....and since i left plenty of lists in envelopes on the fridge....emergency lists and dire emergency lists....all should go well..... a bientot.....
