Time is getting near. I suspect crossing the date line into September will be pivotal. Priorities for now are getting the house ready for the house sitter. We lucked out on that one. A human to stay at the homestead, feed the cat, water the plants if necessary and turn lights on and off. Works for her; works for us. The cat and the plants we can usually put on autopilot but the security is always an issue. Timers for the lights just don't quite give me the piece of mind I would appreciate.
Haven't gotten to the suitcase stage yet. Have been collecting all the small accouterments: flashlights, power adapters, alarm clock, documents with copies, minimal first aid kit, enough prescription meds to last the course (even the French don't want to see me off my meds!). We've bought travel guides....more than we can read much less take. We have maps, an international drivers license and a car lined up. The plan for now is to rent a car (Budget) when we arrive in Nice. Keep that for a week to get to La Garde Freinet and settle in. Spend some time checking out the local scene then back to Nice turning in the car and hopping a train for points unknown. During that week, if we can determine that we don't need a car to get from our house to town we may not rerent. Bus and train service is available. Maybe buy/borrow a couple of bikes.
Still have some work to do figuring out this blog. Want to be able to upload pictures and copy/save/print text. I continue on the upward climb of the learning curve.
