Well the big hurdle of the last few weeks has been to get the gall bladder op over and done with. It went off with only minimal drama while I was sleeping deeply (thank heavans) last Thursday (15th) and I am now hanging around home waiting for recovery to be complete. Although I am still a bit slow, it is giving me the opportunity to "help" double check and sort the 2.5kg of documentation from the travel agent to make sure that everything is as it should be.
With the surgery over, and recovery progressing well, excitement is now building. There is a sense of unreality when we say "only 3 weeks and we will be in the UK" or "do you think we should try to see X or Y in Paris". The just completed TV series by Kevin McLeod "Grand Tours" has given us a remarkable amount of information about what we are likely to see and touch in France, Italy and Greece - how do these people know we are about to visit those same places? (Mind you it pays not to watch the TV news as they also seem to occasionally focus on some of same places we plan to visit!!)
