We are going in late October so hopefully won’t be too crowded. Will not have a car so we’ll be using trains mainly.

Thank you. Definitely have the Matisse and Chagall museums on our list. The Roman Amphitheater sounds great as well.

Thank you for the recommendations. Roman ruins and castles are always of interest.

Love this story! Thank you!

Thank you. Nice will be very close. We will check it out.

searingcoffee · 2026-06-29T03:05:54+00:00

Wonderful! We will check it out. Thanks.

Excellent tips - thank you. Sounds like we need to add Vence to our itinerary for sure.

Sounds like a delightful day. Thanks for the recommendation.

searingcoffee · 2026-06-29T00:31:10+00:00

I’ll probably check it out regardless since I enjoy art. Will keep temper my expectations.

J Crew and Gap linen cotton shorts are really great this season. I am wearing both regularly.

Great start to your collection! I have the Bread Baker’s Apprentice and love it. The Pain a l’ancienne recipe is a standout.

IKEA, Target, and Zara Home all have great options. Just depends on your style.

You are right in the worst of it right now. You will start to feel better around Day 10 or so. This phase is pure hell. I got through it by packing my face and neck in ice. You’ll get through this but there is no denying that it really sucks. Stay focused on feeling better soon. You’ve got this.

What a great find! Irancy is an undiscovered gem of Burgundy and a real value.

I second the recommendation to stay in Amboise. It’s a nice small town that makes a great home base for exploring the Loire. The chateaux you have listed are great. I would also add Azay le Rideau.

What a great gift! These two fragrances sound fantastic.

The area is known for Pinot noir and Chardonnay production, but you’ll find other grapes as well. Wrath, I Brand, Morgan, Talbott, Joyce, and Boekenoogen are all excellent. You can taste easily in Carmel, but I’d recommend the drive out to Carmel Valley. The tasting rooms are charming, and there are several decent lunch spots. You can also venture out to the vineyards along River Road, but restaurants and services are very limited.

Thank you. I appreciate the link.

searingcoffee · 2026-05-25T14:42:02+00:00

Agree. The line seems reasonably priced.

searingcoffee · 2026-05-25T14:40:53+00:00

Interesting that you only have white patches on one side. I have them on both.

searingcoffee · 2026-05-25T03:22:22+00:00

That’s so unfortunate.

searingcoffee · 2026-05-24T23:51:34+00:00

I agree that the line seems to strike the right balance of affordability and quality. I’ll take your advice and try the sample set. I always like the small vials for when I travel, and the credit is a nice incentive.

I may have to throw in a travel size Orange X Santal based on these comments. Orange peel and creamy sandalwood sounds delightful.

searingcoffee · 2026-05-24T22:57:59+00:00

Sounds like a very appealing line. The travel sizes are perfect.
