First quaker by train



The travel arrangements are complete! Thanks to Dave at Village Travel we have our round trip air tickets. We have chosen to fly in and out of Heathrow since I want to take the opportunity to visit with some special cousins in England on the way home.

From Heathrow we go into London and catch the train to Paris. We will spend one night there before traveling south to Revel, the town where Lise and her husband JP live. Lise was able to get us first class tickets on the TGV, the fast train from Paris to Grenoble, for 40 Euros each person by buying them in France. She mailed them to us and they arrived in Saturday's mail complete with a stamp of Mont St. Michel which we plan to visit on the return trip to England.

As a train enthusiast, I am looking forward to the train rides. I have heard great things about the TGV and can't wait to climb aboard!

We have arranged to rent a car in France and to rent a car in England. Looking at all these bookings and tickets is finally making this trip seem real!
