Uncle+Jasper's+Trip+to+Paris

**Bon Voyage à Paris! [[image:eiffelwav.gif align="left"]]**
Merci to mon amie, Madame Rauschenberg!

Your Uncle Jasper has just told you that as a gift, he will pay for you and a friend to go to Paris with him while he’s at a conference there. (Uncle Jasper is an internet businessman and has a LOT of money, and no kids of his own.) He’ll be busy all day and into the evening at the conference, but will check on you every night before bed. You’ll arrive in Paris early Thursday morning,and catch an early flight home on Sunday.
