This is it! Paris here we come!

In just 12 hours I will fire up my Uber app and request a car to take Angela and I to the airport. To the airport to catch our 13 hour flight to Paris. Sitting here tonight I'm really having a hard time believing these facts.

Devon loves us!

We had reserved the weekend for last minute preparations but honestly, there weren't too many. There were only a few items on our to-do list yesterday. We made a run to the grocery store for some travel snacks (apples, bananas, Twizzlers, mega M&Ms, cheese and crackers), we made a cheat sheet for the new fancy still-intimidating camera, we charged all of our electronics and the little power banks to charge them again later, and we made some cookies to take the neighbors who'll keep an eye on our house while we're gone.

Then today we packed. We had everything already laid out clothing-wise but spent some time going through toiletries and other miscellaneous. We opened the care package we received yesterday from dear friend Devon and added a few more items to the bags.
We managed to get everything into just our rolling suitcases and our backpacks which was the goal all along. We'll throw our snacks and some sandwiches in the top in the morning and we'll be good to go.

So this is it. Tomorrow we leave! It seems like we've been dreaming of this trip forever, and planning for almost as long. And while we're gone we might check in, well Cedric probably will at least, and we'll make sure to take lots of pictures because, in the words of Audrey Hepburn, "Paris is always a good idea."
