    blister kits

    My feet are very happy right now yet I want to be prepared to care for them well if need be. Is there a "blister kit" available in the U.S. that contains all that I will need?

    The scene between Paris and SJPP

    I will begin my trip in mid September after a week in Paris with friends. There are many suggestions for transportation but I have yet to find what I am looking for. All I have seen of France is Paris and I would love to have a beautiful view of the countryside and maybe a stop along the way...
