The preparation intensifies

The preparation to Paris is well under way. I have packed two suitcases, pink (my daughter's choice actually)...but it does help to identify it on the carousel. Well, one suitcase is for the kids clothes and the other one for me and my husband plus all the 'ration'. We are just bringing enough clothes for 4 days because we are going to find a laudromat when we are there.

As I said earlier, we will be staying in Val D'europe, which is at the outskirt of Paris, but very near to Eurodisney. We have to commute to Paris by train, it'll take about 40 minutes. We are playing it by ear, actually. We do have a loose plan on what to do in Paris. We definitely want to join the L'Open Tour bus, because then we do not have to struggle with the undeground. There were so many stories about our friends who missed certain stations because all the instructions are in French. At least, if we are on the bus, we can see where we are going.

We will be going to the main tourist attractions, plus Paris Mosque. Travelling with kids is not going to be easy...I am just praying that they wouldn't have one of their tantrums. Aliah's anticipated problem would be walking long distances, but I hope travelling in a foreign city would alleviate some of the tiredness...heheh. I am only worried about Hadi and Amir. They are too young to appreciate the sights. I am not sure if we are going to the Lafayette Centre or not because shopping is definitely not our main concern in Paris. We'll just see how it goes.

Since we are not very sure about the 'eating arrangement' in Paris, meaning the availability of halal restaurants, we are bringing along some maggie mee, brahim's (to be eaten with french bread) and some cereals for the kids (at least, they will have a filling breakfast. We are also bringing along some sweets and chipsmore for snacks. I am not sure how much is enough, though by looking at my husband's face, I've packed enough to feed an army...heheh. Better be prepared than sorry, eh?
