Everything it was meant to be

Paris is exceeding my expectations. On our way to Biarritz we had a full day in Paris due to our flight delay. The Eiffel Tower was amazing and worth waiting 44 years to see.

We had a lovely two days in Biarritz and even managed some beach time. Despite thunder, lightening, and heavy rains our flight back to Paris left on time and we wandered the Louvre until my feet ached and I could walk no more. We ended our day with 2 bottles of champagne.

Today is sunny and hot - we spent the morning at a flea market and plan to wander the Marais this afternoon.

Everything is good.

Paris, Here We Come....

Maybe.

Paris has been my number one destination for as long as I can remember... and I am about to have a dream come true with a 7 day "taste" of France including 4 days in Paris.

I have spent hours searching websites for the right flights, the right hotels, the right restaurants, the right walking tours, the right museums..... I am beyond excited.

But we are currently in limbo. Our flight scheduled to leave at 23:50 hrs was pushed to 00:20 hrs. Then it was pushed to 01:45 hrs.... and now it's canceled.... sigh.... so we spent 5 hours taking the new train to the airport (which is pretty cool by the way - it cost us $2.50 each to get to YVR and then $30 for a cab home since the train had stopped running for the night), hanging out at YVR and then cabbing home.

We are reschedule for 13:00 hrs .... keep your fingers crossed.
