Taking The Eurostar To Paris Next Week



The Eurostar goes to North Station in Paris

It is a little over 200 miles - London to Paris

Lulu just bought our tickets to Paris on the Eurostar - the train that goes under the English Channel. We have done this many times before - but this time is different. Keith has taken a job with iea.org. It is his dream job and he is in the process of moving his family there. He flies tomorrow - by next week on Thursday we will be zooming over at 200 miles per hour through the layer of chalk that makes the bed of the famous waterway. 

Tickets were about $200 each round trip. We could have saved money if we bought them sooner. We will be staying three nights - then one of the hardest departures ever. Liz and family will join him in a week or so. 

They have leased out their home and adjacent apartment in Washington DC for the duration. They expect to be in Paris two to five years. Our trips to see the grandkids will be just a little longer.

We will leave from San Pancras Station in London
It zooms through the countryside and into the tunnel.
