I am sorry to keep you hanging. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving
and before I get on with my recent events let me finish my adventure to the
South of France.
Day 4 was a filling of such mixed emotion, I new my father
was going to have surgery but hey I was in FRANCE and my father would want me
to enjoy myself, right. Those feelings
were very conflicting, I wanted to be happy and excited buy I was very
frightened about my father. We started
the day going to Uzès a little village that was the first duchy of France
we then proceeded to the Pont Du Gard. A
UNESCO World Heritage site and words cannot describe this amazing site. It is a huge aqueduct that now has 3
levels. We where accompanied by a tour
guide through the top level. (a tour that you can only get with special access
through your travel agent) It was amazing,
and what was more amazing is while I’m on the top of this world heritage site,
I get a Skype call from my niece and was able to see and talk to my father
before he went into surgery. It was very
healing to my heart and allowed me to enjoy myself and my surrounding. We departed from there to visit my one of my
favorite towns on the trip Nimes .
It was here I again was able to Skype with my father after surgery and I new
everything was going to be okay. It was a lovely little town; wonderful shops a
beautiful church and still home to bullfights in a miniature Roman
Coliseum. Here we spent a wonderful
evening in a little sidewalk café. Day 5
we visited a “Town of art and History” Pezenas.
This little town is a place I could retire to someday. It was clean, quaint, friendly and beautiful,
also about 20 minutes from the Mediterranean . Then we returned to Montpellier where it all began. We had a short tour of the town and a visited
the Fabre Museum Paris for my next
adventure.
So that ends my adventure in the South of France. My next entry will follow me to Paris and continue to
update you on my father.
As I said in the beginning a lot has happened. I attended my first travel sale and training
meeting in Las Vegas, over 1100 agent
from all over came together to learn about travel. It was very overwhelming the amount of
knowledge filled my head. Then one of
most amazing things happened to me. At
the end of the meeting I won the opportunity of a lifetime. I will be traveling around the world with my
husband. Yes a paid trip for 2 around
the world courtesy of Ker & Downey.
We will visiting New Zealand ,
Hong Kong, Saigon , Dubai, Mauritius, Johannesburg and Buenos Aries, and it will be taking place in March of
2013. I can wait.
So as we enter this holiday season and even though I may be
struggling financially trying to build a business is a very slow process, I
still have so much to be thankful for.
Everyone says that winning this trip and being able to experience France as I
did, is a sure sign that choosing to follow my passion, even with the financial
burdens was the right choice. Thank you
all for your support.
