It is Friday night and this will be my first official entry in my 2008 European Vacation diary. David and I just voted at the advance poll today. This was the first available, and I'm happy it was today as we will be leaving on Sunday for Paris, and the first part of our trip.Officially the vacation is now on.
I just picked up a bottle of sparkling wine (Spain), and I don't want to offend our first host country, France, before we even leave by calling it champagne). It is chilling at the moment and as soon as it reaches the optimum temperature we will have a toast.
David had the day all to himself as his last day of work was yesterday. This is a good thing as he had the day to compose himself and go through his mental checklist.
I will of course think of at least six things I should have brought just as the landing gear is being pulled into the fuselage of our plane, and I am flagging the flight atttendant for my first bevy.
We don't actually leave for France until Sunday, however, we are going to Brockville tomorrow as I need to see my son and my Mom before I go (just in case we pull a Steve Fossett) and coming back to Toronto on Sunday and catching our flight to Paris on Sunday evening.
Thats all for now. I hope you all get out and vote, if you are undecided vote Green. If you are smart and care about the world, human rights, and all the good stuff, vote Green. Your comments are always welcome here too so don't be shy.
