Nice is Nice!!!

Yes, corny title, but I just couldn't help it! Arg! And I'm back on an American keyboard and making mistakes left and right....this will be brief. Basically, all is good! I was going to cancel my trip to the South of France this morning at 3 am, when I was laying on the bathroom floor, exhausted from hours of being sick. With the wonders of technology, I was able to skype with my parents (while laying on the bathroom floor, thank you smart phone!!) to get some comfort and words of advice. They brought up the wise idea to cancel the trip to Nice and spend the next few days recuperating instead. Hmmmm, very sad idea, but indeed, very wise. The thought, at that point and time, of spending a similar night in a single toilet bathroom shared with a 16 bed dorm, was very unappealing, and enough to persuade me to agree with my parents' reasoning. HOWEVER!! I woke up this morning feeling pretty much miraculously better!!!! I severely hesitated, but my aunt helped me concoct a plan to allow as much recovery time as possible before my 5 pm flight. So when the time came for decision making, I felt recovered enough (and desperate enough to see Nice, Menton, Marseilles, and a friend in Aix-en-Provence), that I decided to go for it!! One of her amazing neighbors brought me to the bus stop, and I was off and running...or actually, bus-ing, then RER-ing, then plane-ing my way to Nice. And there was no desperate need for a toilet on any mode of transport!! Double Hooray! So now I'm off to take a nice and easy walk to explore Nice, maybe be bold and eat some chicken soup, then call it an early night to see if I can feel fully 100% by tomorrow. Fingers are crossed, this can happen!!!
