Trip to France, Austria, through Slovenia, Croatia, and The Netherlands

We have been planning this trip for months and it is two days away!  Papa and I will leave the ranch tomorrow.  We'll stay overnight in Tucson for an early morning flight on Tuesday to Chicago, and a second flight to Paris.  We're hopeful all our children and grandchildren, plus my Mom, will arrive at the chateau we've rented in Normandy, by Saturday afternoon.  This is our schedule.  We hope for safe travels!
