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

My friend Suzi’s Home
My friend Suzi and I met in the early days of interior design school. We were two older moms, Air Force wives, facing down dastardly professors. We were destined to become friends. Suzi is a top notch hostess. One of our best memories is the Seinfeld themed party “Festivus” she and her charming husband Ron held during one holiday season. Oh was that fun! As with all Air Force friends Suzi eventually moved away. But we still emailed and it was great fun letting her know I was coming to ... View the Post
