STILL NO FAQs! Part III "Official 'unofficial' AKL LITE"...

[YoYoAurora]

Absolutely!

I finally had a chance to make ADRs for the trip. I might be ready when it's time to pack and leave. Who am I kidding? I don't sleep the night before we leave for WDW! I'm ready to go home to AKL.

I am excited for you... Laura and Elin are amazing and you will have an amazing time on your meet up, but we will need pictures to prove it.

Thanks! And there will be photos if (when) we meet up. I'm a photographer, so there will be photos.

I've put the WDW planning on hold to plan a girls weekend for one of my cousins and one of her college roommates. They're coming to my town, where my cousin lived as a child. I'm booking them into one of my friends' B&Bs and getting together a list of activities and restaurants for us to visit. I have a seminar that Saturday, but there are plenty of things for them to do while I'm out of reach. My cousin, Linda, called me last night and asked me to put it together for them.

Sure! It's too bad that my brother is on his way to Paris and won't be back until the end of June. He'd have ideas on where and what to do for y'all.

We dont leave until Late September...

We dont leave until Late September...

I'll ask him when he calls to tell me he's back home for a few days. I know he loves Provence, but don't know what area of Provence he's explored.

Are y'all looking to tour historic sites or certain areas such as the wine region or the lavendar fields?

I'm still waiting to get to Paris. I've been to Cannes, but that's it for France.

We have been all around the french riviera, to strasbourg (Christmas markets), and Paris (not together)
I think this time we want to do the following:

Paris
Bayeux
Caen
Tour
Lyon
Dijon
Reims

We will travel mostly by train.

Woohoo! It looks like I might be able to meet some of my virtual friends in real life.

Yes!

I am just trying to figure out the timeline, I think it might be too aggressive.

Brandi, I just caught part of a segment on GMA about a new WINE THEME PARK opening in France!!! I know no details of where in France (didn't even catch its name), but I think you need to do research -- it sounds AMAZING!!!!

I am trying to decide if I want to cut my time in the Lorie Valley to add in Bourdeau

We fell head over heels in love with the Languedoc on our recent trip. I better think about getting that trip report started.

Corinna, I will go check it out, I think it is on the coast right?

Yes, it is right by the Mediterranean Sea and has a border with Spain on the Southern end. This area is absolutely magical. It has great food and wine, lots of history and gorgeous landscapes. We will definitely be back.

Here are a few taster photos:
