More Research!

Since we have booked a car to drive back to Paris for our last night, we needed to look into parking the car in Paris.  The hotel we had chosen for our last night, the Alane, was chosen because it was within walking distance to the train station.  Now that we'll have a car, we can choose another hotel, as long as there's parking available.  Fortunately, I found and booked the Campanile Hotel Paris Bercy Village, which cost almost the same as our prior hotel, but seems to be in a slightly nicer neighborhood, with parking on site.  

I've also been busy continuing to research every place we might be visiting on our trip, and selecting restaurants for some of our stops on the boat part of the journey.

Yesterday we got together with our traveling partner, Adele, and we booked a tour of Versailles!  It's getting real!  I have also started putting together an itinerary for our time in Paris - what to see, where to go first, etc.  I'm also looking into pre-booking our entrances to certain places.
