Back to Paris!

In exactly 115 days, I will off to a new adventure with my sister Jenn and her husband Jamie. We are travelling to Paris. I will be there for exactly 8 days, but they will be continuing on from there. They have rented a beautiful flat in St. Germain with an extra bedroom, and very graciously, asked me if I wanted to join them.... an offer I could not refuse!

Seems like a good time to re-iterate "the rules" of travelling with me...

1. Do not hand me a map - I am severely directionally challenged and will lead you in the exact opposite direction you need to go (finding the metro stop - no problem - just after we get off the metro, best to know where we are going)
2. Drinking tap water is NOT a good idea - no matter what I say at the time
3. Bring Immodium (remind me constantly before we leave.....)
4. Be prepared to walk everywhere - running shoes are not tacky when you are a tourist... ;-) Best way to see where you are is to walk the streets
5. Be prepared for adventures you did not plan for... after all, you will find the best places when you take an "adventurous turn"... (it happens a least once on a trip - I will get you lost!)
6. The last, most important rule - HAVE FUN. After all, life should be a giggle, and if you are travelling it's an adventure, not a chore. There are so many places to see in the world, and if we are tired and grumpy, stop a second to think where we are, what we will see and who we might meet. Then SMILE. You are thousands of miles from home, enjoy the moment of experiencing something other than your every day life.

I can not wait to start this next adventure, but will patiently wait for the next 115 days to pass.....
