We are cleaning, cutting grass, packing and dog sitting four extra dogs (the cat is thrilled - no seriously, it gives him even more dogs to boss around) today - all the things one must do before being gone for an extended time. Actually I feel quite like the Pied Piper whenever I walk anywhere in the house; I have six dogs ranging in size from about 75 lbs down to about 6 lbs plus one 17 lbs cat shadowing my every move. It is annoying, but it does make one feel popular!
Flight is at 5:00 pm tomorrow and we aren't assuming anything until we are actually on the ground at Charles de Gaulle airport. We do need to find a hotel in Paris for our first night still, but I think we can do that fairly easily through Google maps. Rob continues to toy with the idea of renting bikes for our journey out to Chartres and Maintenon. It would involve a ride of about 35 miles on a bike that is sure to fit no one, especially me, so we (I) are definitely not yet sold on it. I know my back would start to hurt in approximately 5.2 seconds on my bike until we got a shorter stem (made me not have to reach out for the handlebars quite so far), so I know how much an ill-fitting bike can effect ones comfort. And this is, after all, vacation where comfort is of the utmost importance. We are taking our running shoes, so we can still get plenty of exercise - as though walking around Paris all day isn't going to do it!
So assume no news is good news, although if we don't get to go this time I may be too devastated to turn on the computer. Plus, it sure is hard to type with a Pug in your lap or even staring up from the floor imploring you for a little lap time.

MeGosh, the chihuahua, Odo the large cat and Teeters
Behold the power of the Evil Eye
Now I must go escort a dog down the hall past the cat. Good thing we have dogs to protect us.
