travel to france this year

i need to set this goal aside for now. it has become more of a block and distraction for me while working on my other goals. so, for now…i will set it aside; re-evaluate later this fall and focus on my more important goals.

...with a job change, that this will still happen this spring.

december looks a little tight for planning and funds so…

tim and i decided to shoot for the spring (march or april) and really enjoy the planning process along the way. we are both slightly disappointed that we will not make it this december but that wont stop us. i hear that the spring is really the time to go anyways.

such as the song lyrics go…

Springtime in Paris, again and again
The couples are ready, well, into this steady

WOW i received great responses! i guess i have my homework cut out for me between the feedback on there and the list of hotels from my travel agent.

thank you all!

and figure out if we are indeed doing this in December. i will work on a budget this week and help tim with his. maybe this could be our christmas gift to each other.

we will see…i hope it will work…i really hope so.

so it looks like tickets are running around $500.

not sure what area to stay in. if anyone has some suggestions, i would appreciate the input. maybe i should just pick up a travel guide and i will ask my sister where she stayed when she was there.

i wish i had kept in touch with my college friend Caroline. She was from Paris and i miss her.

my travel agent today. looks like i am leaning more towards december. we shall see what she finds. i have a friend leaving today to paris, on a one way ticket. i hope to meet up with them when i am there. and possibly another friend that will be in london at that time.

so far i am looking at dates in November and December. flirted with the idea of going for christmas but… maybe i will save a christmas get-a-way for a place like switzerland. PLUS i want to go sooner than later.

Can anyone recommend a better time or a quality hostile to stay at in Paris?
