We spent the day before my birthday leisurely enjoying the sites of Paris. As always, the food was great and so was sharing my favorite city with a dear family friend and a mentor throughout my life. Here’s a sample of Alice’s first day ever in Paris!
I have almost recovered from our premature wine tasting turn. One of the reasons is the really nice hotel our travel agent found for the Paris leg of our trip. Shout out to Jessica at McGehee Cruise & Vacation. Loving our home away from home.
OK, so we checked into our hotel this morning around 10:30 AM and immediately went to a great wine tasting session. The information was excellent, but I wouldn’t advise wine after a 9 hour flight. #accidentalcomedians!
My friend Alice and I took off for my birthday trip to Europe. Thanks to some very inconsiderate terrorists, I prefer to spend my day away from the solemn refections.
Paris is the first stop! Great flight on Air France including tips on Paris Fashion Week from a very handsome flight attendant. Lovely view of super moon from the plane! Stay tuned…
Gearing up for my birthday trip to Paris, London and Scotland. I can’t take it, I gotta breathe!!!!
Great travel tips from one of my blogger friends.
If you love to travel like I do, here are some tips to stretch your travel dollar…
1. Lodging
Lodging is by far the largest expense when traveling. Couchsurfing is a terrific alternative to the standard hotel room if you’re a bit adventurous. After making an online profile through Couchsurfing.org, you can search their database based on location and other filters, such as age and male/female, for a place to crash for a few nights. It’s totally free and the friendships you make could become lifelong! You may also host people at your place, if you have a couch, an extra bed, or even an air mattress on the floor. In the past two years, I’ve Couchsurfed in Cape Town, South Africa, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Philadelphia, and New York City.

Officially on my bucket list… beautiful!!
The Taj Mahal, wonder of the world, ode to love. Well an ode to his 3rd wife. Not sure how first 2 felt when he embarked on this 25 year building spree to remember her.
None the less, one of the “must sees” when in India.
Our first glimpse was from down the river. It was a little bit hazy, but luckily not foggy and the sun was coming out. (Config: Canon 5D Mark III, Canon 28-300mm f/3.5 USM).
Once past the gates you come to the large entrance – effectively called “The great gate”
Our first peek at the Taj Mahal.
As we walked through the gate it came into full view. It was quite a unique experience.
Even thought it was an official holiday, it was not as busy as I had expected. But there were a lot of Indians. With the recent collapse of the rupee…
