The journey begins!
1. november 2015, Forente stater ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Hello world! Packing is nearly complete, everyone is buzzing about with last-minute things as Mom and I set off for our mother-daughter vacation to celebrate her 70th birthday. Our travels will take us through France, Spain and Portugal and I hope to use this blog to document this trip of a lifetime.

Our flight is not for 7 hours and she is already packed and ready to go, watching football. Me on the other hand...I am sitting here staring at piles of clothes, about to play tetris with my various bags - but I am ready!

I just said to someone special that "I'm trying to decide what I will wear in Paris tomorrow" and could not help but giggle. Tomorrow! Paris! This is a bit surreal and it's finally sinking in...we're going - it's finally here!

In the immortal words of the always wise Homer Simpson:

"I want to shake off the dust of this one-horse town. I want to explore the world. I want to watch TV in a different time zone. I want to visit strange, exotic malls"

And so it begins...Les mer

Waiting to board! TSA pre-check made security a breeze. Grabbing a quick bite at Cool River - delicious.

Landed! Mostly easy and quick flight except for the blind landing due to fog in Paris that was pretty crazy. The flight attendants were awesome, our seats were good and the company was perfect. Paris, here we come!Les mer

Hotel Quartier Latin
2. november 2015, Frankrike ⋅ 🌫 9 °C
The hotel is charming and has a beautiful lobby. Rooms are clean but we need to talk about the definition of two beds in a room when they're pushed together to make one big one anyway! The location is perfect and easy walk to Notre Dame and we are surrounded by restaurants and bakeries. We have a cute little balcony, all in all a great hotel for our Paris experience.Les mer

Notre Dame and nutella
2. november 2015, Frankrike ⋅ 🌫 9 °C
There is something to be said for the magic of a crepe made right in front of you, smothered in nutella....Just for you to enjoy while you wander the streets of Paris.

We've made our way to Notre Dame and will take the tour. I find architecture like this so incredible, the fact that they kept building and building for hundreds of years to get the church in its current state and were inspired to persrervere. We just don't build structures like this anymore.Les mer

Hotel Negresco, Nice

Hello Riviera! We have arrived at the hotel Negresco and it is an incredible contrast from our hotel in Paris. It is beautifully decorated and so very decadent. You can feel the history and the pride they take in their hotel. The view is...well...see for yourself :)Les mer

The view is of Monaco, France, Italy....and our ship! Amazing day yesterday full of villages, beautiful world of art and history.

Internet is sketchy, even in town...you just don't realize how much you rely on being connected until you are cut off!

Chagal mosaic in Vence village, home of the Sisters at Metisse Chappel (sadly no pictures allowed inside...Google it!), random cat...Les mer
