Make sure you look at the video on the 757/767 page regarding loading the FMS. I wish I had that before my TOE. Your LCA will show you how. Procedures for the crossing are basically the same as at NWA.
Get the captain to show you the grocery store where you get your wine and cheese for the afternoon get together in the crew lounge.

Wow Jinks Thanks!
I gotta start reading the fleet page more often. This is the second really great/helpful thing I've gotten word of mouth, the first being the "how it's really done guide" that the north LCA (JM) put out.
The good news is I finally have my Eastern Hemisphere book put together. I had a couple of binders and ALL of the "stuff" stuck in a gym bag in MSP. I just kept adding revisions to it thinking "hey I'll never go to any of these places, or better yet I'll wait for ship sets". But hey, whats 3 or 4 hours out of a lifetime
Looking forward to the trip! Thanks for the info on the grocery. Where did you get money? I assume the French use Euro, but I guess you can never assume anything with the French
