Bucket List (To Do) volume 1

I am one 300 word essay question away from completing my MBA.  It's a bit anti-climactic as I imagined my last assignment being much more glorious.  Anyway, the end of my academic career and the gorgeous weather has me daydreaming about trips I want to take.  

South of France

I'm all about mixing downtime with lots of activity.  Maybe it's the threat of wrinkles, but I no longer long for 7 days on a beach.  My trip to the south of France will entail a bike tour through fields of sunflowers and lavender.

And I want to experience this on a bike like this {though I'm used to riding a much uglier bike with more speeds making cycling much easier}

The second part of the trip will entail some beach time in the French Riviera.  How cute is this?
