Bienvenue to our new blog, "La Vie en Rose"! We are anxiously anticipating our departure for France and doing a few...okay all...the last-minute preparations. Being world-class procrastinators, and with a departure date of a mere two weeks away, we decided there were a few essentials we needed before heading out for a year.
1. Year supply of contacts
2. Glasses and sunglasses
3. A decent camera
4. All forms of medical appointments
5. Shoes
And last but not least...camping gear. For those of you who know us, you may wonder at this. But, believe it or not, we have decided to attempt to backpack around France for as long as we can at the end of our journey abroad. Unfortunately, we had not one single item that could contribute to our "camping gear" supply. So, five hours and several hundred dollars later, we left REI feeling like we were pros. We are currently awaiting our supplies in the mail and will have about a week to see if we can properly assemble a tent, sleep in it, and then fit everything into our bags. Bonne chance!
