Standing at the bus stop in Cadrieu on Sunday morning, I knew I was up for another adventure in travel. I was in (what I expected to be) familiar territory. I encountered: reservations that had been canceled, hotel key cards that refused to work on three separate occasions and had to be recoded, a French cell phone that (yes, once more) won't work where I am, and an @ on my netbook that is yet another mystery of the universe that may or may not be discovered. But, many people many places pulled together to help and finally got me where I need to be when I needed to be there. It's a good thing I'm not shy. "Excuse me, do you speak English?" And from there-I depended on the kindness of strangers. No one disappointed me. I'll be back with more posts and fun on the road. Happy-whatever day it is today!

I'm in the moving on mode at the moment, but just you wait!

OMG...I can hardly wait 'to hear the rest of the story,' as Paul Harvey says.
