Parents

When was the best time to have your parents come visit you during the year?

No Regrets...

What do you think was the best thing that you did, or the most socially productive thing that you did in your first few weeks in France?

Packing!

a) What did you bring over that you ended up not needing at all?
b) What do you wish you had brought that you didn't?
c) What are you really glad you brought?

Any additional tips in terms of packing and getting all our stuff through the airports/train stations/etc?
