Ok, we talked to parents about the possibility of needing to crash at their places in the time between leaving/coming home/getting a new place and they're ok with it. If our house sells for a reasonable price, I think we're doing it. I could vomit.
I love to think I'm spontaneous, but in the end I get all nervous and back down. I don't want to do it this time! I want to actually BE spontaneous and make memories!!
Even my mom thinks this is a good idea. Off to google and research!
I'm not sure why you picked Paris, but while you're googling you can also look in to other cities as well Might be less expensive than Paris and make it more financially feasible. The possibilities are endless!
I was going to say the same thing. Paris is $$$$$. That wouldn't stop me necessarily, but it might cause me to research smaller townsin France and cheaper countries like Portugal or Spain or somewhere in SE Asia.
Traveling is one thing, but doing it in the middle of a move, putting all your shit in storage, finding someone to watch your cats, and hauling two kids to another continent... idk sounds like a lot to me. I have a low tolerance for stress.
It's going to be a mess anyway because we have to wait for my grandmother to sell her house before we can buy a new one- might as well be in Paris while that's happening!
I wish I had traveled like that when I was young and childless. Now it seems too complicated with our two jobs (finding a way to do it both at the same time in the same place) and school.

Since they're already moving, storage doesn't sound like any extra stress other than having to pay for it. And cats are easy, I'm sure there must be a friend or family member that can watch them.
So I guess it all comes back to kids ruining everything since I don't understand the stress they might cause!
I don't think the kids thing would be too bad. The travel might be a headache, but that's only two days out of a glorious 60.
I definitely would want to get a vacation rental with two separate bedrooms. We've looked into that for a shorter trip and it can be surprisingly reasonable off-peak. Definitely negotiate!

My friends have used air bnb and liked it, so we'll check that out : )
We have used Air BnB; it was great! I've also used various vacation rental services, but a long time ago or I'd recommend one. It's so fun being right in a neighborhood. I also love the idiosyncratic decors that are not so hotel-y.

Other than air bnb you can also check out whatever the local equivalent of Craigslist is (or maybe Craigslist is what everyone uses).
There was the equivalent to that in South Africa that most people used for short term rentals for vacation since it was such a tourist destination.
