I'm leaving on a jet plane...

Some of you may be wondering why I was stuck in a hotel for a month in DC. (Just in case you haven't been following along on Facebook). We were originally supposed to fly out on March 11th, but our visas weren't ready. With no fault of ours, things were delayed and we were told repeatedly, "they'll be ready tomorrow." We kept hoping for them to be done quickly and kept moving our airplane tickets back a few days at a time. Anyway, I am happy to report that we got our visas today. We actually moved our flight up a few days and we are flying out Thursday night. (Yes that's April Fool's Day, and no, I'm not joking). The flight leaves around 10 PM and we arrive on Friday around 11 AM Paris time. We are hoping that the boys will sleep most of the night. We shall see. I think the seats all have little TV's in them. We are going to a temporary apartment for a couple weeks and then actually go to our place. I'm perfectly fine with that because the temporary apartment is a couple blocks away from the Eiffel Tower! And around the corner from a Boulangerie! Things are looking better. Now if only it would stop raining in Paris!
