Paris Part 1 Arriving, Arrondissements, Accommodations and Modes of Transportation
After flying all night on Delta I arrived in Paris via the Charles de Gaulle airport on the morning of May 16th. I generally exchange a bit of money at one of the kiosks in the airport as they often have the best exchange rates. Due to my large bag I opted to take a taxi from the airport rather than ride the train or bus into Paris. Please know that this is the most expensive option but of course it is also the easiest. Taxis are available right outside of the baggage claim area. Signs are well ... View the Post

It’s Beginning….
Yesterday great. I slept in (well, for me) got Sweet Guy off to school and then spent the morning catching up on blogs. It’s Beginning…. I probably wouldn’t have gotten dressed but I needed to go the middle school for their annual holiday feast. What a lunch! I spent the afternoon deep cleaning and decorating. Dinner was Chinese Food. I almost didn’t think the day could get any better. Then the Fashionista sent me this: It’s Beginning…. This semester I ended up with 2 A’s and a B+. ... View the Post
