Backtracking, Fall vacation-The Planning

After arriving and having orientation the first week in Reims, we found out that we would have a Fall break from October 9th-November 3rd. We began planning (the French have a vacation EVERY month, what?!?!?!) and decided on Switzerland. Then a few days later I got a letter from the French government saying that my OFII appointment would be October 28th.  Glad I didn't book my tickets for Switzerland yet.
 New plan: Reims for my birthday (who doesn't love doing champagne tastings/tours on their birthday), OFII (immigration appointment where you get your blood pressure measured, height and weight checked, and chest x-ray- in case you have tuberculosis) appointment, then spend 5 days in Switzerland. With this new plan, I set-off booking train tickets, hostels, and  creating the itinerary. Two other girls were joining me and the three of us were excited to take our first international trip as residents of France. Yippee!
