Well the day of departure has finally arrived!  With the busy wind-down of another school year, for me at least, it's been so nice to have a few days to re-group and begin to focus fully on the many "treats" that await us in France!   This year's adventure has an added level of excitement and anticipation with the World Cup and France's game today - I hope they continue they're winning ways so we can experience the excitement first-hand.  The excitement and energy in Paris is, I'm sure, simply amazing!!  I can't wait to see everyone later today at the airport as our incredible adventure begins… in the meantime, I'll try to drag myself away from the television!

See you soon!
