T Minus One Year And Counting!

Hi everyone,


While the date could change by a day or so either way, my best guess is that exactly one year from today, we'll be on a big bird crossing the pond. Of course that assumes that there's still an airline left in business a year from today, but we won't think about that right now.


I know a year sounds like a long way out, but I've noticed that a year passes a lot quicker now that I'm gaining on 50 than it did when I was a kid or even in my 30s. I'm not sure how it works, but it does.


Tempus fugit baby--tempus fugit!


For planning purposes, here's today's 10 day weather forecast for Paris from weather.com. Of course it could be a lot warmer or a little cooler on these dates next year, but this will give you an idea of what it might be like. My experience has been that it's going to be a little cooler than you'll expect.


Given that several days the highs will be in the low 60s and it's going to rain a bunch, I'm glad we're going next year. I have a feeling it will be a bit sunnier and warmer than this for our trip.

Sounds exciting, I hope you keep blogging the whole experience!

I'm so geeked and flattered that an "outsider" found our humble domain and took the time to leave a comment.

I knew who Hewy (the nom de plume of a denizen and social commentator who resides in our little town) was right away because I periodically check out his blog on the doings in Helena: http://helena-alabama.blogspot.com/

His blog is always one of the first things that shows up when you do a Google search for Helena, Alabama.

How the mysterious Hewy found us, I have no idea since I can't make this blog show up on any Google search I can think of.

Anyway, Hewy, rest assured that I plan to keep this going all the way up to and beyond our descent into madness; although with a full year to go until the trip, I imagine that the subject matter will become increasingly mundane over the course of the next 12 months.
