Our pattern for a number of years has been to travel every other year, so this year is different, as we visited Spain and France last year and now we're off again this year. But another pattern is that Laurie and I decided some years ago that anytime we travelled in Europe, we would spend a week in Paris, either coming or going, and last year we had barely five days there. As we were leaving, Laurie said, "Next year: let's do two weeks, just in Paris. Let's do a family reunion in Paris." It took a good ten to twelve seconds to convince me.
As it turns out, we're not going to do two weeks in Paris, just nine days. Then we'll go to see our friends Mary and Gilles in Chartrettes, a small town 35 minutes south of Paris. After a weekend there, the four of us will travel to Burgundy for a few days, then we'll return. Total trip: 21 days, including travel. Short, by our standards; we like four or five week trips, but as we're breaking our every-other year pattern, short will be okay.
