They say that every journey begins with a single step. After first talking and thinking about travelling to our ancestral home over 30 years ago, Gerri and I have finally come to the realization that now is the time to travel. Our first step has been in the planning of our dream trip to Spain with a few stops in France. As with most things in life, planning dictates the path that one will take. Our planning has started and soon we will begin to experience the thrill that many people enjoy every day as we soar off to unknown adventures. We plan on flying into Paris and spending a few days in the 7th arrondisement at the Hotel Valadon . The internet and Google have been my best friend as I investigate lodging, places to go, sites to see and everything else that might have anything to do with travelling. Travel forums have been my hangout, reading advice from others. Luckily there are a lot of people who want to share their thoughts and experiences. . After exploring Paris we will pick up our leased car from Auto France and drive to the Normandie coast where we will spend the night in Bayeux. From Bayeux we will travel to Nantes for a day then to Bordeaux for another day then onto Spain! Our first stop in Spain will be in San Sebastian where we intend to find a spot on the beach and revel in the realization that we have finally arrived in our ancestral home, Spain! May 10th will soon be here as we start our adventure from the City by the Bay
