Aperture 3 to Lightroom Migration

Is there an easy way to convert the aperture library to Lightroom and keep file structure in tact? I don't care if I lose adjustments, I just want to have all of my RAW files in their original folders. I have been wanting to switch to lightroom for some time now but am worried about migration. Thanks!

Can you use Aperture to export XMP sidecar files? If so then you should be able to import them into LR.

I'm not sure. My library is on an external disk that I don't have with me right now so I can't check. Anyone know?
