And so it’s finally here! I head to France tomorrow and it’s the end of a year of anticipation and planning. It’s a strange sort of feeling – the last time I looked forward to something this much, it didn’t quite turn out the way I’d expected it. I sure hope this time is different.
After the nomadic life of the last few months, I’m looking forward to finally unpacking the suitcases I packed 2 months ago and re-discovering the stuff I’ve forgotten I have. I’m looking forward to putting up all the fridge magnets from my recent travels. Oh, and unpacking that box I sent on to Fonty ages ago.
That’s for tomorrow. Right at this very moment, I’m keeping my fingers crossed for all my luggage (yup, all of them huge suitcases) getting to Charles de Gaulle in one piece (or 4 or 5 as they are – I’ve sorta lost count of how many I have by now). After that, I’m keeping my fingers crossed for the drive to Fonty – hopefully all the French are still recovering from the partying leaving the roads totally empty as I try to drive on the other side of the road. After that, I’m hoping I’m going to like our apartment. Then, I’m hoping we’re going to make it to the apartment in time for us to be able to make it to the grocery store as well before everything shuts down for the day.
Most of all, I’m hoping I’m going to like Fonty and INSEAD :)
