Counting Down

The Paris/London trip is officially just one month away! I'm getting a little anxious now for the Paris portion because none of the plans in that city are set in stone, especially since our arrival date may or may not consist of us sleeping all day from jet lag. My mom and I will be leaving the United States in the afternoon of Wednesday and arrive in France in the morning of Thursday after 11 hours stuffed in an economy class seat with no leg room. We would like to be able to sleep during the flight to help out with the time change, but I've never been successful at sleeping on a plane in all my years. I will be taking precautions though: hardly sleeping at all the night before, possibly waking up at 2:00 am, and taking sleep aids just before the flight. Hopefully all of that will be enough.

The London portion of the trip is a little more solidified. We have some experiences booked, including tickets to see The Phantom of the Opera and a ride on the London Eye timed for when the Tour de France cyclists should approximately pass by just across the river. I'll have my zoom lens out for sure. I'm also planning on heading up to Leavesden, north of London and home to Warner Brothers Studios' The Making of Harry Potter, where I will walk through a replica of the Great Hall among other things. I'll even try their butterbeer despite negative reviews! Although, I suppose I could wait to try butterbeer when I visit The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Florida next year to accompany one of my business trips. Yes, I certainly could.

Also, I updated my INFJ post to include some new tidbits and insights in case anyone was interested. Boop.
