Paris Orly Airport Hilton

Th six berth sleeper was a killer the girl under me kept kneeing me in the back what felt like all night, the lights kept going on and off all night, plus I was concerned that I was going to snore very loudly so I didn't sleep much. All six berths were filled only one male though. I was pleased when we finally pulled in to Paris an hour late and...

OK, we got back early tonight (~8:30) so we will try and get both yesterday's and today's blog in now.

We began with a scheduled 7:15am wake up call at the Disney Hotel. "Wait, no wake up call? D'oh!!! WTF???? They forgot to wake us up? What time is it? 9:30am?!?!?!? WTF???? Let's go!"

Since we realized we had just lost 2 hours in ...

Have finally arrived in Lisbon after around 40 hours on a coach! It´s worth it though. There´s a story or 2 to come for this entry, but for now, I just wanted to say that I´m here and safe!

So, yes, to update, part of this trip for me is seeing how easy and expensive it is to travel over a few bits of Europe overland. Hence the coach trip...

I love Paris, I love Paris, I love Paris! Not a ton of time to write today, but another great day, we woke up early and went to the Louvre, amazing. It is so huge and beautiful. The entire city is packed with really amazing, beautiful, awe-inspiring sites. Every street, building, park, etc. is just amazing - I'm sure it helps that it is spring, ...

This was our fourth trip to Paris and our second time this year. The train ride from Nice was uneventful. Somehow, we ended up being the youngest and the only American couple in our car. I whiled the time away perusing my Paris guidebooks and sketching out arough itinerary. Jay's only request was a visit with his beloved gargoyles at Notre Dame...

Sion: Journée Versailles: We got an early start today, and once we had our nutrional picnic lunches (sandwich fromage beurre, chips, pomme, gateaux sec), we were off to spend a day in the life of royalty. The ooo's and ahhhh's were audible as we approached the palace, as were the beeps from a multitude of cameras as we made our way from room to ...

"Tra, la, la bustiere" is what Darby has been singing in Paris instead of "Tra, la, la boomdia" ever since she wanted to purchase one of those bustiere handbags in a souvenier shop. I had to explain to her that they were for older, more mature girls. Tres amusant! She settled for a rouge mignon one with Paris embroidered on the front. And she's ...

I'm going to start with a little confession. I've done almost no studying in the last three days. It's horrible what the distractions of Paris can do to a student. On Thursday I started my little hiatus from reading and other important stuff that I will begin working on today and get done before this week ends (because otherwise I'll be skiing i...

Bonjour!! We arrived to Paris from Caen on the afternoon train and found the hotel we had booked a few months ago. Our hotel was in the Montmarte area of Paris near the Place de Clichy metro stop. Once we arrived, we decided to start seeing the sights immediately. This was Suzanne's first time to Paris and Jeremy's fourth!! First off, we went to...

Unfortunately France was not very good to us and it started from the time we landed at the airport. The luggage conveyors were broken and it took us about 2 hours to get our luggage. Not a good start. Secondly, we initally had trouble working out the trains and either we weren't understood or were ignored as no-one wanted to help us (until an Au...
