I know you expect to be reading something of France already. But uh-uh, Iβm still here, at my desk in deep perplexity. I just canβt believe itβs April already. I leave end of the month! Yes, I got my visa. Yes, my parents know Iβm gonna be gone for a month, although itβs actually 45 days, what is 15 days, really. Iβve been talking about this trip since January and now itβs April and what have I done so far to prepare for it?? Iβve not even finalized my itinerary! Well, I discarded the one I mentioned before. Itβs really too ambitious. 12 cities?? Wasnβt I ranting about package tours?
Anyway, so far I know Iβll be in Paris at 7am on the 1st of May. Oh wow, the thought of waking up in Paris. Iβm just not gonna think for now that itβll be after a 12 hours transatlantic flight.
Seriously, I think the sight of Paris will just melt any jet lag. Iβm really, really excited about this but at the same time feel like Iβm going cardiac. Iβve never done long trip, backpacking type like this before. The longest Iβve been away is for a month in the States but thatβs totally different as I had a home base at my friendβs lovely home. She was in between jobs then and had plan my whole stay β up to what time to have coffee stops.
What do I bring with me?? Definitely something I can easily lug around. Easily. Is that even possible?? I need to shop for a luggage. I kinda need some tips on this. Is 1 medium luggage and 1 knapsack type about right? Iβll be taking TGV, slower trains, & budget airlines to approximately 7 cities.
