We decided on this trip last December, but it finally became real when we bought our tickets to Paris and London and paid for our hotel. This is the trip we had planned for since the beginning of our marriage.
We bought Rick Steve's Paris and London books and studied them. Picking out which things to see and do on a 19 day journey is difficult. We also wanted to leave space for just being us and having romantic walks in various parts of Paris and London. Of course, we will visit the famous sites, but I am hoping we will find certain tucked away areas that will mean things to us alone.
During our planning stages I found out that my crush, David Tennant, formerly of Doctor Who, will be in London's West End in Much Ado About Nothing. Through a lot of perseverance, we snagged some tickets for our stay. (Background info: I am a Doctor Who freak.) This is true love on the part of Bruce. He is willing to share me with Mr. Tennant for a couple of hours. He also has consented to see the Doctor Who Experience once we are in London. What a guy!!
We are getting down to our last week, buying the few items we will need on the trip, making our little quart bag of toiletries, beginning to pack those things we will not use until we get there. One week from today which is our fortieth wedding anniversary, we will be in Paris. It's surreal and amazing at the same time.
I can't wait!
