She continued to listen to her iPad,
trying to implant the once familiar French phrases into her subconscious. Each
phrase she heard made the language more real to her and she could see the words
written in her minds-eye.
This preparation was for the much anticipated trip to
Paris, another item to be crossed off her bucket list.
The plan had been to travel in June of the
next year, stay with the young people in London and then cross the Channel,
explore Paris and have a bus trip around France.
The savings plan went well for
a while but several unexpected expenses dented the nest egg and now she was
facing the prospect of having to defer the trip.
This was not a particular
concern to her as she preferred to travel when she had adequate money, but she
was dreading the disappointment in her son's voice when she had to tell him of
her changed plans.
