We’re finally fulfilling my life-long dream of going to France! If I didn’t have the plane tickets as proof, I’d think it was just a dream. But no, I’m really planning a France vacation!!
France has always been one of those places I’d hoped to explore, but never imagined I’d actually go. Well, maybe when I was 60, retired and my kiddos had kids of their own.
So, how did all this come about? After my back surgery in November 2013 (and even before) I spent a LOT of time laying around in bed. It occurred to me that I might not be able to walk well enough when I’m older to take such a trip. My back will continue to deteriorate and strolling through quaint French towns might not be possible. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that life is too short. Sometimes putting things off until the right time, isn’t the best idea. Will there ever really be a right time?
What’s even better than spending 2 weeks in France? The possibility of moving there for a year or two!
The more my husband & I talked about it, the more I realized I wanted to live abroad. I desperately wanted to expose my kids to another culture, to another language. Part of me is utterly terrified. I’ve lived my entire life within a 30 mile radius of where I was born. I’d always had my Mom and little brother close by.
