So, we’re leaving in 5 4 short days and there is very little packed. But, we do have the start of a packing list and a place to sleep each night we’ll be gone. This is definitely the most planning we’ve done for an overseas trip yet.
We’ll leave on Friday and get to Geneva early Saturday morning. We pick up a car and head to a rented cottage in Change, France for four nights. It’s a super small village in the heart of the Burgundy (Bourgogne) region. Then, we drive to Paris and drop off the car. We’ll stay there and explore Paris and the surrounding area for five days. Finally, we’ll go to Lausanne, Switzerland to visit with my sister and her family there. And it’s possible Tim and I will take a night or two from there and head out on our own. Then – not that I’m ready to think about this part already – a daytime flight home in time to recover a bit over Memorial Day.
We are super excited to get some time away, explore France and especially Paris, eat delicious foods – Reagan is loving cheese and olives right now, so she should be fine – and see my sister and her fam. The fact that the trip is flanked by Mother’s Day and Tim’s birthday on the front and Reagan’s birthday once we get back is making for a very busy and exciting May!

You guys are brave! It takes me a week to prepare for a weekend at Grandma's ;) I'm sure it will be a fantastic trip - I look forward to hearing about your adventures when you get back to the 'hood.
