10 days early? I'll take it!

So, we have finally succeeded in changing the flights for the Sprout and me.  Good news: We will be leaving 30 Aug instead of 9 Sept.  Bad news: J still has to work and must stay behind until the 9th.

However, I'm much more comfortable with us (read S and her pop) being apart for 10 days instead of 2 months,* which was my big concern with leaving back at the beginning of July. I would have happily left tomorrow, even, but everything is booked solid until the 28th, and the 30th was the first flight J's contact could get us out on.  Just 9 days more, 9 days more...

Curfew is still in effect here from 7pm-6am, and our flight is at 6:35, meaning we'll have to break curfew in order to check-in on time.  The lady who changed our tickets said, however, that with our passports and tickets in hand, we should have no troubles.

To which J cheerfully said, "If the police don't just shoot at us first."

Ha. Ha.

Oh so many good thoughts coming your way, for the three of you and all the sadness of the conflicted nation.

P.S. She's your girl - she will adapt resiliently whatever the case :) Of course she may be sad for a bit, but I believe she will overcome it just as you would. All of life is filled with compromises, even for our beloved little ones.

Thank you, dear one. There will be plenty of GOOD distractions in France to keep her mind occupied and happy...and yeah, there is always Skype, which is great for keeping in touch.

How is your little family doing?
