What??

Where did my last three weeks go??
All of a sudden, I leave tomorrow!  I'm ready, except for actually putting things in my suitcase.

The shuttle to Chicago leaves at 12:50 pm, and the flight to Paris leaves at 6:35 pm.  By 9:00 on Thursday night, I will be in Madrid, after an afternoon spent taking a quick peek at Paris (with a longer look on the way back). Three nights in Madrid, then off to Vaughantown in Belmonte for five nights. After Belmonte, I will be taking the train to Valencia, where I will be for three nights, then back to Madrid for one night, Paris for one night, then home.  I actually tried to fly back to Paris from Valencia, to avoid backtracking to Madrid, but it wasn't possible.

I just realized that one thing I haven't done is buy my tourist bus ticket for Paris. I can do that in the morning, too.  I'm a little nervous about Paris, since I know no French, but it will be fine.  I just hope it doesn't rain.
