Week In Review: Fréjus, Roman Ruins, and Earthquakes
Ok, I didn’t really make you wait that long for the real week 4 blog post, only a day or so. Sorry for dragging you through the patience exercise, but I’m hoping you got the point and felt a little of my frustration. Honestly, it is hard to complain when the weather is this beautiful […]
Week In Review: Gréolières, Skiing, and Warmth
We’ve completed our third week in France and with it welcomed much warmer temperatures. We’ve exchanged the cold, somewhat dreary days for sunny, blue skies, outdoor lunches, and the ongoing explanation to our kids that the pool isn’t warm enough to swim in yet. We are starting to settle into a somewhat normal routine, with […]

Week in Review: Voltage Transformers, Gourdon, and Saint Raphael

Whew! I’m glad that is over. Although I did very little compared to the movers, we just spent the last three days watching two guys pack up our house and load it onto three different trucks- one for air, one for sea, and one for storage. Even though I didn’t do much more than direct […]
How to Take Fluffer the Cat to France
As we near closer to our move date (end of January) our list of things to do is getting a bit longer. The relocation company has provided us with a lot of assistance, but the one area that we’ve been somewhat on our own is: traveling and moving our cat, Fluffer. Honestly it would be […]
Augmented Reality App Instantly Translates French Text On Signs, Menus
As I’m transitioning from living and working in the United States to France (moving soon), I’ve begun to look for travel apps that can help make the move easier. I have the typical iPhone travel apps such as FourSquare, Kayak Pro, FlightTrack Pro, Skype, TripIt, Zagat, iTranslate Pro, SpkEasy FR, Luthansa (and many other airlines), […]
