Paris and onward back home!!
From Lisa:
Our last three days in Europe we decided to spend in Paris. There was so much we didn't get to do the first time around and I wanted another look at this beautiful city. We had another wet and cold weekend, but the Metro system makes getting around so easy! We visited the Montmartre area again - couldn't resist the Hard Rock Cafe :-) and spent almost an entire day exploring the Lourve. There was so much to see and we barely put a small dent in that place. It would take weeks to see it properly. They had an awesome audio tour of The DaVinci Code narrated by the detective from the movie and Tom Hanks. It lead you all through the museum, following in the footsteps of the characters and stopping at all of the places mentioned in the movie. It was a lot of fun! Our brains and our feet were very tired by the time we finished up touring the museum, but there was still lots to do to get ready for our flight home on Monday. Goodbye Paris, hello Tampa Bay!!!
From Cheryl:
It is with somewhat mixed emotions that I leave Europe. It was such an unreal experience, but there is so much more to come. I am trying to live in the NOW like suggested in the book "Walk in a Relaxed Manner" (Thank you Betsy!). It is not easy to not want to look ahead and have an idealistic view of the future, or behind to dwell on the past, but it is simply a better way to be!
I guess you also know it is time to get home when you get an email from your hairdresser telling me she saw my pictures on TravelPod and she thinks she can still fix me! It has been 3 months Jenna, I hope you are ready for a challenge!!
See you on the flip side -
PACE - Peace to you all!

Welcome Home
Hello Cheryl and Lisa I want to be the first to Welcome you back home. Can't wait to sit down and listen to all the different things you two have adventured.
Love, BRO
Thank you so much for sharing your adventure!
It has been amazing to have such a voyeuristic experience into your journey! Cheryl - this is the greatest refrigerator moment of all time, definitely!
I'm glad you've been safe, obviously happy & healthy and have experienced something a fraction of a few will ever dream of!
Have you learned anything about yourselves through this?
Lisa and Cheryl
Thanks so much for sharing your travel adventures. I have enjoyed the ride and look forward to each new entry. I hope to follow in your foot steps and some day see the sights you have seen. You both are an inspiration to 'do more', 'be more', and 'follow my dreams'. I hope you can rest a bit when you get home. God speed in your future travels.

Welcome Home!!
WOW!!!! 3 months already since you left the states & were in Dublin, and now back in the states!! So fast time really does go by. And you've done sooo much. Thank you for the journey-I'm not even tired. Can't wait for Mexico-and Cheryl's new hairdo. I'm glad you both are safe and still making wonderful 'kodak' memories. Debbie :)
Welcome to America
Thank you so much for sharing your travels. Your photos bring back good memories. I loved the Louvre> I thought it was a great place but I needed to visit it a whole year to see it all! Hope your stay in Mexico is a lot of fun. How are the studies about corals and fishes going. That is a challenge!
Happy travels,
Ivette Garate
