As Is Tradition: Testing The WordPress Blog App To Make Sure Everything Works

Amy and Andy’s Excellent Adventure 2023 Part Deux: France Edition

(No This Isn’t The Freebie Compensation Cruise For the NZ/Oz Debacle)

Starting off with a gratuitous Bugsy photo, because he’s peacefully snoring away next to me as I type up this test blog post. I always like to make sure everything works before I go – the iPad is up to date, the WordPress app works, and I remember how to do all the things to actually post something.

We are off again on another cruise! This time it’s a river cruise – on the Rhône in France. It’s been a while since we’ve spent more than a day here and there in France. I’m so excited! France is probably my favorite country to visit: my favorite cuisine, beautiful cities, and beautiful countryside.

To be absolutely clear – this is NOT the freebie cruise to compensate for the NZ/Oz debacle of December 2022/January 2023. We booked this cruise some time in 2022 long before we flew to Auckland. The actual (almost) freebie cruise will be this August.

This is our itinerary – we fly into Paris, stay for 2 nights/3 days, followed by a train ride to Lyon where we board our ship. Then we travel down the Rhône to Avignon, where we disembark. We fly back from Marseille.

Our hotel in Paris is located just about across the street from le Tour Eiffel. My guess is the view from our room will NOT be of the tower, because we’re usually not so lucky.

Looking forward to revisiting some favorite spots in Paris – including the Tower, which is just marvelous in its ridiculousness – and hunting down my favorite dessert: Profiteroles!

Next up: Day 1 – Getting ourselves to Paris
