Preparing for Take Off!

In just a few minutes, we will be heading to the lovely LAX before flying in Air France style to Europe where we will begin our trip!  Our itinerary includes:

  • Paris
  • Fontainebleau
  • Florence and Tuscany
  • Rome

In Paris, we will be enjoying crepes, wine, bread and cheese for a couple of nights, then we will head an hour south to Fontainebleau, a world reknowned climbing mecca.  We will be there for a few nights, honing our bouldering skills and visiting the local chateau, which is said to rival Versailles in style and flair.  In Tuscany we will get our fill of art, architecture, and delicious rustic Italian food (hopefully not in that order!) for a few nights before taking the high speed train to Rome to finish our trip there amongst the antiquities and the hustle and bustle of the modern Romans.  It's going to be rough, but some how we will make it through...

Check in regularly since we will be posting updates and pictures daily (or as often as we can get good Wi-Fi).

    1. So far it's been all about jet lag but we did walk around the Rive Gauche a bit and ate a meal at a little hole in the wall in the Latin Quarter. Then we crashed out. Rachel will have update soon I'm sure.

    1. Yeah... Jetlag is a bitch but now we're back on our A game. It's 9:30 and I'm still up. I'm a big boy!
