October 7 - Take train to Porto and see a smaller Portugal town
October 8 - Fly back to Paris at 8:30am, more Paris.
October 9 - Fly back to MSP at 10:30am.

Phew! That's kind of a lot of traveling and moving around but it'll let us see a TON of different areas and locales and sights and smells and tastes and oh man we are excited!

You can see the 3 main areas we'll be traveling to in the picture below (see the red tabs).



Lacey is most excited about seeing the smaller towns like Chefchaouen in Morocco and Porto in Portugal. She's also excited to eat fun food. I'm most excited to see Paris again. Also, I'm absolutely in love with the ocean so Lisbon and driving along the Atlantic coast is a dream of mine.

We dropped our cat, Loki, off at Lacey's mom's house on Sunday. She's being very helpful to us and is watching him while we are away on our trip. It's always tough to drop him off but especially hard this time because we will have a couple days at home without him. We've been living at our apartment for about 2 and a half years and Loki has been with us for over 2 of those years. Long story short, we miss our fur baby but time will fly by once we're traveling.


Other than that, it's just getting stuff ready to go. I bought a new pair of jeans and Lacey bought some new flowy pants for Morocco. We already have our passports and printed all the info off and have our backpacks already. Only 2 more days till we will be on the way to the airport!!
