Planning trip

Photo of the screen on the back of the seat in front of me last year.
     Well, we are on our way to Paris again. This time it is for a week in a flat near the Eiffel Tower. It is an add on to our two week trip back to Edinburgh and the Highlands.  
     As I have noted, planning a trip is at least 42% of the fun. There is reading, contacts, comparing places to stay, making lists of possible things to see, and the gamble of packing. I say it is a gamble as you never actually know the weather and I like to travel light. Paris can be 80 to 90 degrees whereas Edinburgh can be 55 to 65 degrees. You plan for layers. Plus, always bring sunscreen and a hat. 
     My favorite item of wear is a roll-up windbreaker/raincoat which looks great on, but can be rolled up in a bag the size of  burrito. I also fly in a sport coat (travel coat with 12 inside pockets) and wear it if it is cool during the day or evening when I arrive. It is my purse.
