Surprise! So I know we haven't started our trip yet, but I figured this would be a good way to introduce all of us, and just get the word out on our travel pod. I may have bitten off more than I can chew here, since I'm not really sure how often we'll be able to post about our trip. But that will be a goal of mine, to update this thing as much as possible so you all can be a part of our journey.

Lees:
Lees has been designated as our driver. Now many of you are probably asking, why aren't you driving, Kristen (since I am the obvious choice)? However, as I am the only one that knows how to read a map, I have designated myself as the navigator. Lisa is concerned, however, about getting yelled at, and I keep telling her that as long as she listens to me, we'll be OK. Lisa's expectations of this trip are to drink lots of wine, and soak in all the beautiful towns that we're visiting

Lees

. She actually was in Paris for a couple months during college, so I hope to rely on her for her French speaking skills.

Moi:
When I was really young, my family liked to go on road trips. Some of the best memories I have are sitting on an ice cooler in between my parents in our blue Astro van, reading out the number of pit stops from point A to point B. My dad taught me how to read an atlas, and that helped keep me occupied during those long drives. Probably why to this day I have a pretty good sense of direction. Thanks pops!

I am excited about wine tasting as well as just being at the Cannes Film Festival during the Indiana release. I hope to run into some people with connections who will get us into the party. (Btw, chances of that happening are slim to none. But a girl can dream right?). I also am excited about driving up in the mountains, and going canyoning in the Gorges du Verdon, the Grand Canyon of Europe. Lisa, however, is not enthused about this idea, so we may have to settle on paddle boating instead.

Sup:
Lisa and I have decided that Sup's role in our driving adventure is to be the pointer-outer. She'll help be the look out person, making sure that I don't navigate us into one of those scary Parisian round-abouts. However, I have a feeling she will be sleeping a lot in the backseat. Sup has also agreed to go canyoning with me, so I at least have an adventure buddy for a couple hours.

Sup is traveling from Cincinnati, and Lees/I will be meeting her in Paris. Unfortunately, Sup is arriving about 12 hours before us, so we're am not really sure what she will do during the day. What I am sure of, is that she will probably get into some funny situations, which is typical for her. Sup... just be safe!
