Bon Voyage Paris

The next morning, I leave early to get the CDG in time to check-in both me and my luggage.

**** Yea, be sure to you take the RER to Charles de Galle and not Charles de Galle Etoile ****

Wrong direction.....I almost missed the flight, LOL

I get all checked in and I made the first class list, YAY. Then, a newlywed couple who were in Paris comes up behind me and the desk clerk says, 'Oh, I would upgrade you but we only have one seat left in first class'. Then this #@#^#, decides to give them my seat so that they can sit together. Really?! Seriously?! Can't complain because we could lose our flight benefits!

Now I have to fly 9 hours back to Dallas in a middle seat and was miserable the entire flight. Finally we land, as I'm going through Customs I notice one of my bags was lighter and then saw that some of my souvenirs have been taken (stolen). I only left my bags unattended once when I went to the bathroom on the plane, so apparently the creep sitting next to meet saw an opportunity. What a jerk!

My babies are there to pick me up and now I'm on my way to the house...but I'm not going home.

From that day, Paris is all I talked about. My kids, family and coworkers started saying I was obsessed with Paris. 

Maybe I am, but I know where my heart is and that started my journey to relocate permanently to Paris.

Just to make sure it wasn't just a school-girl crush, I started planning from that day for a return visit to Paris. This time I would take my kids with me for a second opinion. That adventure would begin in August 2011.

BTW: I spent 7 days in Paris. I took $400 US cash and brought money home, walked about 14 hours a day...I lost 15 pounds in 7 days.

Thank you for listening to my story, more to come.....
