Août en France ! Woohoo!
So, carry on all. I may be able to check in for the news but may not log in or post. Save up the gossip and the different "issue of the day"s for me.

Au revior come Fri eve. Or would it be a bientôt?

3. Thanks. I forgot to say am using freq flyer miles up. Know they will change amts soon
or put on a huge fee, so hey, time to go. Am trying to not freak out about missing work, but have wanted to go in the summer but could never afford a ticket. So played the freq flyer numbers and woohoo. Visiting family there, mostly hanging out. I'll post some when back. Thanks again.

9. Hey, makes sense to me! No time like the present. Sounds like a smart idea.
Do it while you can before the rates go up. Will you be back by convention time?

7. Way et merci beaucoup. My only fear is they'll bomb Iran then, rather than wait 'til Nov
guess I'm too cynical? Cidre, frommage, pain, chocolat, moules, cidre, vide greniers, plages de l'Océan Atlantique, le jardin de Monet, cidre....

10. Ya know what?
Enjoy everything after your word 'cynical'.


I'm going to Maine the end of August, and it could happen there, too. I think it's less likely to happen at all. Who'd take responsibility, and why? Fegeddaboudit, and enjoy!

15. We went of Freq Flyer miles also
We also rented an apartment, which is cheaper than a hotel and you save on going out to eat all the time.

13. Ferme Août! Vacance! Viva la France!
Millions of Frenchmen clear their desks and head for the countryside. The City of Lights is evacuated and tents are pitched on campsites everywhere ... especially where there's a lake or river in which to swim. The more affluent head for other countries. What a terrific way to live!
