Countdown to France- name the destination!


We are getting to the point of making lists of the things we have to do to get ready for our trip. Thus we are getting excited about it all. Many things to do. It provides a good punctuation to use as a way to clean up some things we are doing now. Busy time. We leave in early September.

Now we will be thinking about how to spend the discretionary time during our travels. Suggestions are invited, so click the comment button at the bottom of the post to give us some ideas. If your idea is selected and acted upon, we will bring you a present back from that location to prove we were there and recognize your contribution. The area of travel will be restricted to France, and Germany. The winner will not be announced until we have completed the trip- October 20. We reserve the role of sole judges and our decisions are final. No opportunities for kibitzing or arbitration will be allowed, and all that sort of thing.

Now, some guidelines: We will be driving, so we can get almost anywhere. We don't go to big cities. We don't spend on high cost attractions, so forget Disney Europe. We don't like the Belge so much, so if you want to send us there, think again. We are going to be heading from Bretegane to Stuttgart, so grab a map and check out the route, anything along the way has a higher probability of success. If you send along a bit of background or history, that may make a difference if it is compelling.



Entries must be received by August 25, that's the way it is.

We love the Belge, but we don't plan on going to Belgium...Italy anyone?

We have a new cousin! Nicolas and Tomoko are the proud parents of Jonas who was born the first of August. Everyone is healthy and very happy. How exciting to have a new addition to our small family!

I saw that car just the other day, I ride in them now and them. Usually its just me, the driver, and 5-7 perfect stangers. This looks a bit nicer though.
