Pre-trip busyness

I've been running around like mad, getting ready for my trip next week.

So much to do, so much to pack and so much stuff to buy. Got my driver's license translated to French as I've decided to drive around the Luberon countryside. And consulted the friendly staff at Alliance Francaise who supplied me with a wealth of travel info on hotel accomodation, getting about in Paris, museum passes, Metro passes, what to eat, what to buy, what to drink, where to shop.

I'm still having the jitters. Seriously, I think I'm going to arrive Paris all googly-eyed and in deep awe, realising that I'm living my dream. Imagine, I've been waiting for years to do this.
