Need an Escape from the Everyday?  Time to Pull Out the Suitcase

 

World and domestic events, stock market ups and downs, taxes — sometimes it seems that the bad news just keeps on coming.  Add to that the stresses and pressures that can ebb and flow from The J.O.B. and no wonder people start dreaming of how to use those vacation days.  For those of you who have children, remember when you had a new baby and there were days that flew by and the only thing you actually got done was take a shower?  And eat?  It’s been a little like that lately.

So today I thought I’d share some favorite photos from recent visits to France.  Seeing photos of where I’ve been or where I’d love to visit some day always perks me up and gets the flame burning to start planning the next trip. The wheels start turning to bring an itinerary to life, followed by the details of how to get from place to place — planes, trains and automobiles! — where to stay, then fun things to do and new places to explore start to fill in the blanks.

We’re having an early hint of spring in Atlanta with temperatures in the 70s…in February!  As we start to shake off the cloak of winter hibernation, I hope these photos will inspire you to start making some plans to get out and explore.  Whether that takes you on a walk around the block or prompts you to start making some travel plans for this year, here’s wishing you an early Bon Voyage!
