a passing panic.....

ok, so.....this being monday on a thursday travel week...i decided it would be prudent to reconfirm all of my travel times and dates.....and to email them to our dear middle child who may want to know this vital information....and when i got to looking closely at my delta confirmation email....i noticed that the seat assignments for the atlanta-paris leg were asterisks, and not actual seat numbers......oops.....and so i called delta and was assured that we do have seat assignments.....and that we are good to go as far as our plane trips.....and then i printed out my saved email hotel confirmation......and got to looking closely at the dates....and while the hotel was correct...the confirmation was for 3 nights...3 weeks from now.....and so i replied to the hotel on rue cler with the email they had sent with their room availability.....to make sure that they were expecting us friday, and not a few weeks from friday......and then i waited...and waited....and waited......until our hotel reconfirmed that we were, in fact, expected friday and not several weeks from now.....gentle readers.....the last thing i needed was to have to book into a new hotel at an inflated rate at the last minute......we are keeping a watchful eye on the weather conditions in paris....at this point the high is the same, but the low is not nearly as brutal as once posted......should be decent climate conditions for a marvelous weekend jaunt.......and this evening, while i waited for my diabetes support crowd to arrive in anderson county....i discovered that several museums in the marais that i hope to visit on sunday are free.....who knew?......and so this trip i will opt out of the museum pass thing....because the museum we will visit on saturday doesn't credit the museum pass.....it no longer makes sense to buy a pass to see museums that cannot be seen on consecutive days.......
