We arrived safely in Paris yesterday morning, after a long but comfortable flight (thanks to Singapore Airlines Business Class!).
We had a busy day yesterday meeting Catherine's work colleagues, setting up a French bank account (which was a bizarre experience having to do it all through our trusty translator), and looking at a potential apartment for us to live in (on our return to Paris in December).
Today it's a beautiful sunny day outside with it apparently reaching 28 degrees! Tomorrow we catch the train to the South of France to begin our language training.

Welcome!!
It's taken some time, but I've now officially kicked off our blog. It's basically going to be a place where Catherine & I can journal about our journey & life in France.
We hope to post/write something regularly, so do come back here to see what we are up to. The date at the top of each post will let you know when it was written.
If you would like to be in touch, feel free to leave a comment or send an email (my address is pbmcintosh@gmail.com).
The Update:
Catherine's work has kindly put us up in an apartment for 5 nights before we leave, as our house & belongings have all been packed up. So we are currently living out of our suitcases in the apartment.
Here are some photos of our little house in Tawa - after all our belongings had been packed up, and we had cleaned the place!
For those of you that don't know, we depart this Thursday for France. So only 2 more sleeps in NZ for us (for a while!).
I'm hoping my writing skills will improve as the weeks & months go by - which will hopefully make this blog a little more interesting. However I promise to post plenty of photos here to make up for it! :)
Be in touch,
Paul
