We are rapidly approaching our next trip. This time we will go to France, the Rhone valley, and meet up with my sister (Cindy) and her husband (Bill). This is an important trip as it is the first for Cindy after her arduous treatment last year for Multiple Myeloma. She is doing well. As in past years when we always planned a trip and met up somewhere where we wanted to tour, we are doing the same now. We are taking a river boat down the Rhone. We have never done one before, just ocean cruises.

We have house/cat sitters coming as we always do. It is ungodly hot right now in Europe. Hopefully there will be a break end of next week, I’m packing and getting the house cleaned and wrapping up details that need attention.

We fly from Rome to Munich and then to Lyon. We have a hired driver to take us to Chalone-sur-Saone where we stay 3 nights. The boat sails from there.

Of course, my tomatoes would begin to ripen just as I am leaving. But we did get our first one and ate it last night. Not the best tomato I’ve had, but good. It looks like our house sitters will reap the bounty for the next two weeks. I hope they like tomatoes!

Tomorrow we drive to Fiumicino to spend the night before flying out. Looking forward to seeing my sister. Of course, there WILL be a Trip Report!
