Pour L'Amour de Paris!

Pour L'Amour de Paris!

For the Love of Paris!

What can I say?  PARIS!  Well..  I can say we earned this trip.  We fly standby because I work for an airline.  The non-stop flight from San Francisco to Paris was full.  But I knew this.  So we planned to travel to JFK first and catch one of 3 flights from there on Saturday night.  But... unbeknownst to us at the time, it was also the start of Fashion Week in Paris.  All the flights left full Saturday night.  And we weren't on any of them.  Exhausted from traveling and sitting in the airport all day (oh, and did I mention I worked 9 graveyard shifts leading up to and including the night before we left?), we found a last minute hotel in NYC and tried again Sunday.  This was the first time my husband had to deal with the "non-rev blues".  Most times it works out great and we get on the flights we're aiming for.... but sometimes.... sometimes you spend 24 hours sitting in a food court praying you can get on an 8 hour flight to Europe.  We survived... and eventually.... Paris!

What I'm Packing for Paris - 5 Day Trip

We're not leaving for Paris for another week!  But I'm so excited to go... and I'm working 9 graveyard shifts in a row... before we go... so I don't really have a ton of free time.  Or so I am telling myself.  Trying to convince myself it's okay to pack a week in advance!

Packing For A Parisian Holiday

 

Even though I have at least one more 50 States of Yoga trips before we head to Paris in March... it's, well... Paris!  And I can't stop daydreaming about it!
