The wife is waiting to hear about a work trip to Paris in June. If it lines up well enough with the kid’s midyear break, we may tag along and also see if my sister and her fam want to come there. Would be cheaper and shorter than them flying to Aus to visit.

We were just there last November, so maybe do some countryside action as well. Though my sis and her fam have never been to Gay Paris.

Where should I travel to this year? I don't have any pressing desires. Say two weeks, solo trip. I'm a little nervous of traveling solo somewhere I don't speak the language, to be honest. But I'm sure I could hack it

I badly want to. But if I do it will be with a group tour package. I know it will probably be more expensive and obviously less freedom in what you do, but I think I'd enjoy it more this way. I could not do it solo.
