Testing, Testing, Un, Deux, Trois...

The title of this post should give you a hint as to the answer to the question that everybody is dying to know:

Where In The World is Andy and Amy's next Excellent Adventure?

Ok - Spoiler Alert!

We are going to France. Specifically Paris - our hotel will be in Paris for our entire 2-week stay and take day trips from Paris. It's been a long time since I've planned a trip like this - the last few years we did 4 cruises and a bus trip, so the itinerary was set for us.

Our day trips include:

• Normandy
• Versailles
• Giverny/Rouen
• Loire valley (castles!!)

The idea: we will alternate day-trip-days with city-days to allow us to have days that don't require getting up at o-dark-thirty.

Of course we booked the hotel and airfare months and months ago - long before the latest round of scary anti-Semitic activities, including an actual pogrom in the Jewish neighborhood of Sarcelles, which is a suburb north of Paris. However, our itinerary takes us only to the usual touristy stuff and nowhere near any of the locations experiencing unrest.

Anyway, this post is a proof-of-concept test of using my iPad to post the blog to Facebook. I intended to try this out last year with our trip to Israel, but the iPad Air wasn't released until shortly AFTER we came back from Israel (of course).

One thing I need to try is to include a photo in this post. Not having synched my iPad to my computer for a while, I don't have many photos to pick from. So here's a photo of Lucy, my grand-cat:

Ok, that didn't work. I don't seem to be able to upload photos from iPhoto from blogger.com.

Wait, let me try this:

AH HAH. Success! Well sort of. Hmmmm....

The next part of this test is to see how it works to post this to FB.

If that part works, stay tuned for the next installment of Andy and Amy's Excellent Adventure 2014.

Au Revoir!
