12 days til we depart for Paris….

(Just found this post draft and couldn't resist posting it.... I really need to find time to post the rest of our incredible adventure....)

Well, I think this is the very first time I have committed words to the blog around our big trip.  It is only twelve sleeps til we depart for Paris.  I can hardly believe that a lifelong dream and visiting Paris and Venice are on the horizon.  I thought it would be good to start sharing the build up and looking forward to the journey.

So far the things I am looking forward to most are:

·      A holiday away with Grant

·      Seeing the Eiffel Tower

·      Travelling up the Eiffel Tower

·      Cycling around Monet’s garden

·      The night time illumination tour of Paris

·      Walking around and soaking up all the sights and sounds

·      Visiting Rome

·      Getting a sense of history in Rome

·      The leaning tower of Pisa

·      The five fishing villages (strangely this is the thing I am most looking forward to – I think the photos I have seen have given it a MAGICal quality)

·      Venice

·      Singapore (As long as the air there has cleared a lot)

I do not remember Grant and I ever having three weeks away together and I am really looking forward to time talking, dreaming, planning, enjoying, and not thinking about work.  I am looking forward to exploring and relaxing, wining and dining.  I am looking forward to experiences different ways of life and taking a zillion photos along the way.  Most of all I looking forward to a relaxed time with Grant just enjoying our time.
