France Trip Day One June 16,2016 Off to France!



The day has arrived and we are ready to take off on our trip to France.  We have been planning this trip for a year and are so excited!

Just to add excitement, in the last couple of weeks, Paris has been hosting the Championship Soccer Games of 2016, having bus and train strikes to add to traffic congestion, and Air France Pilots have gone on strike.

And on top of that, Paris and Loire Valley have been having floods.


The Air France strike was over 2 days ago.  And the flood waters are going down.
