Thailand 3 days before departure.

3 DAYS! 

A Cannes, It’s all grey outside, it’s even raining. I dream of a little bit of warmth, just a few rays of sunshine…

To sum up, I dream of it :

The suitcases are open – we have to unpack them – but we don’t realize that the departure is in… 3 days! Moreover, we both work until Sunday evening, so the timing is very tight; it’s going to be a race! We get off work and head straight to the train station to take the night train to Paris.
