Arrived!

Well, I arrived in France on Sunday.   I tried to get myself ready for the jetlag by waking up progressively earlier every morning until I was getting up at 3am.   Not sure if it worked or not, as I didn't sleep at all on the plane and have been sort of groggy the past couple of days.

Fanette has made a tentative plan for our travels around France.  We've decided we want to follow the good weather, so we'll stay up north during the summer months, and then head south as things get colder.  Here's a little map which will show the route that she's planned out.   

The months in blue indicate where we plan to be at those times.  Right now we've arranged  farms to work on in Normandy for April and May (just assume that if it pertains to planning and I use the word 'we' I mean Fanette).   We will work on booking the other ones as we get closer.

We're also looking at getting a camper van for this year.  Still not sure as we're not sure how much money we're going to need for this year and how much the house will be bringing in.   On paper it looks workable, but things can always come up.   But we have found a lot of nice little campers for between $1500-$3000.
