Debra's trip to Paris

It looks as if it is going to be amazingly beautiful weather for my first ever stay in Paris. 70-80 daytime highs and 50-60 lows. Just perfect. I have been warned about the pickpockets and been given some tips on how to avoid having things stolen. I'm sure I would be a great target as I look extremely innocent and naive. Hopefully, that won't happen and I will just be able to enjoy Paris in all its glory. I have been trying to learn some French so that I can at least try to speak to the locals. We'll see how that goes. Fortunately my friend is fluent in French and will be able to help me out a lot. She's my personal tour guide. We're going to have so much fun!!! Au Revoir!

2 days to departure

In almost 48 hours, I will be flying off to Paris.  I really can't wait and am already packed up and ready to go.  I do have a few last minute things to pack like my toothbrush, hair brush, etc.

Jody's husband Patrick called me tonight to give me a little advice on how to stay safe and to keep from getting pickpocketed.  He gave me some ideas of things I can do and also what to watch for.  I really appreciate the help.  I have such a naive, innocent look about me that I'm sure I would be a prime target, but I will pray for God's protection and safety, and I'm sure I will be fine.

I have a few concerns about traveling overseas alone.  First of all is missing my husband and children, especially baby Heidi.  I hope I'm not traumatizing her little baby psyche by having her mommy "disappear" for a full week.  I'm also concerned about getting through the airport with my luggage and no help.  We'll see how that goes.  I'm excited that I am able to take a bunch of American stuff for Jody and her family, but I am worried about managing all of it until I can get it to her.

that's all for now...

Sounds like you're having a ball in Paris and I'm glad for you. But you need to stop eating at Mickey D's and have more Fois Gras and escargots! Eat French!! Try the Steak Tartar for a real experience (I did) and check out the Marais and Place Vosges. There is wayyyyy too much to do in Paris and you need months to get enough. Hope you get to Versailles and the day trips to Normandy are worth it too!! Enjoyed reading your journal and look forward to more about your trip. Thanks for the picture of the crown--I didn't get a photo when we saw it. Bonne chance!!

What a trip, it must have been an awesome experience. I would love to go to Paris, even though people say the French aren't that welcoming. I'd go anyway, everyone should experience travelling to foreign countries.

Debra,

I've been to Paris. It's a beautiful city filled with history and art. I remember being asked not to take photographs while visiting the Louvre, because the 'flash' would damage the integrity of the original paintings; including the Mona Lisa. I complied with that request. How did you manage to take photos of the beautiful art without compromising the integrity of those beautiful paintings? Or, did it matter to you? That's why the world hates Americans. We feel we can do whatever we want, even when we are visitors in someone else's country.
