ok that’s it
i’ve sufficiently regenerated, thank you very much. after a marathon of vegging out to the Bad Girl’s Club, i knew it would all be ok. today i vow to start working on the trip to paris and the south of france in may. you know you’re invited! i stole these images from the net, just taking a sec to surf and get revved up cause i’ll have to come back to this. but at least it’s inspiring me.
above is a market in aix en provence. just one more click led me to the link below for affordable villas. now back to my chores…can’t wait to dig in now and look for our chateau to share!
ps ok it’s now 9:30 and i did manage to work on the trip a little…just got a ticket for $650! My aunt told me to go to her website and it’s great! check it out: www.marciasfreetravel.com

Oooooh…makes me want to hop on a plane. That little market in Aix was my favorite…love that there were live chickens for sale right next to the beautiful veggies and what a beautiful place to host a market…we can all take some lessons from the French. I am so jealous of your trip…keep us posted on the details!!!

it’s never too late. and life is but a dream, right!?
anyway, i’m not booking travel nowbut you can definitely come along for a day or two shopping and meeting up. this is the link for it on my site:
http://theparisapartment.com/shopping.html
there’s a pdf brochure at the bottom of the page. We’ll all meet in paris unless you come the 3rd week when we’ll be in the south of france.

What a fabulous idea – a shopping trip!
I found you through another blogger as I was finding all kinds of ways to avoid what I am supposed to be doing (which is sorting through my photos of last week’s stay in Rome for this week’s post) and saw that you were headed in this direction.
Sounds like you’ve got things well planned but if there are any specific details you need or questions I can answer from this side of the world (in particular Aix), don’t hesitate to let me know. I’m happy to help out if I can. (I love living here and really enjoy sharing it with others!)
