The journey begins ..... (deb

Bon Jour!

Today is the beginning of my no-facebook journey to Paris!  Andy and I(deb)  have been trying to get to Paris for 26 years and this is the year!  Tickets in hand; my passport is in hand;Andy has been trying to get his.  As most of you know, Westlake post office does not accept new passport applications on Saturdays without an appointment  so Andy still hasn't submitted his application. Maybe after this homestand...

My journey begin on Facebook at day 202, the day I received our airline tickets and has continued on a gastronomical adventure since.

With 189 days to go, Charmayne and I are in the process of French wine taste testing to assure I know what french wines are acceptable to my palette......tonight we have sampled french wines, french bread along with Caprese Salad.  Since we may be visiting Rome for a couple days, this just seems to fit in.  Of course, we had egg rolls and sticky rice, which doesn't really fit any locale I am going to visit but, cay  la vi
