Flight delay update

Just a quick update to everyone to let you know that our flight out of Charlotte was delayed and we are now taking off likely closer to 8:00 pm instead of 4:40 pm. This will throw our schedule off for the day that we arrived a bit, as we had a walking tour of the city set up that will now be delayed/rescheduled. Which means we're learning lesson #1 of international travel: be flexible! Talk to you from France soon!

Ready, Set, Ready??

As usual the time leading up to such a trip is "crazy" with trying to get everything done locally and running around after the last minute details. For example the Euros that were suppose to arrive last Friday finally reached the bank this afternoon. When the plane takes off tomorrow we will have what we have and be flexible about everything else.
