Going To France

This January I am cashing in airmiles and going to France. Pretty exciting. Amanda is coming too. I'm not looking forward to all that French being spoken - it always makes me a little edgy, but Amanda is very excited to be able to practice. Anyone who has ever travelled with me knows what a light packer I am, so if you need me to bring back some French stuff for you, just warn me ahead of time so I can bring my one allowed checked bag - empty, of course. Of course, if I do take a checked bag, I will stick a few bottle of wine in it for the trip home.
