Last day in Paris, sort of

Posted by (TX) on

Today is my last day in Paris, sort of.

I am going to spend the night in a hotel at CDG. My plane leaves mid afternoon tomorrow. I did not want to deal with rushing so i am choosing to take a taxi to the airport today. I have a leisurely morning and hope to relax at CDG before the long ride home.

Tying to reduce stress and chaos.

Today looks to be nice weather wise. I did not have good weather. There were two nice days and two horrible days with the rest in between.

A friend visited Paris early to mid March and had beautiful weather the entire week so you do not know.

I had a very satisfying week. I am very happy with what I chose to see and do. I feel the Toot Bus was a very good choice for me. I liked my hotel a lot. Real nice staff and fabulous location

But I ate poorly and spent too much on food. Could have done it better

And I feel so bad that I had a poor sleep before meeting my Paris Greeter. I was blah and he was trying hard to introduce me Paris. He deserved more than I could give him. I made a nice donation to Paris Greeters and gave our stroll a five.

Weather makes all the difference, doesn’t it! We deal with less-than-perfect weather but we don’t have to like it. :-) We are in Northern England and there is an Arctic low making temps low and winds high. Not great for the coastal hiking we planned.. But we carry on!

I agree with reducing stress and chaos. A taxi can be just the thing! Hope your last day is a pleasant wrap up.

As many on forum know, I usually take a cruise once a year. And I usually travel in the fall.

This vacation, I chose a week in Paris during the Spring.

Both are good I loved spending one week in Paris but I love my cruises. A week in one place seemed a little more relaxing but I love that the cruise line takes care of a lot of the logistics once I get on the ship.

Would love another week long vacation somewhere in the fall. Anyone have suggestions?

Having problems with my keyboard so I may end for now.

Sounds like you had a wonderful week, full of surprises, and yes some blah days. That's just the way travel goes, it's never perfect, it's just like life!

Meeting my Paris Greeter. I was blah and he was trying hard to
introduce me Paris. He deserved more than I could give him. I made a
nice donation to Paris Greeters and gave our stroll a five.

Jet lag sucks! Sounds like you did the best you could do & I'm sure you were kind & gave him whatever attention you had to give. It's really the only thing besides the weather & paying more than you'd like for food, everything else sounded great! So it was indeed a wonderful trip, I think you should be very proud of yourself for going outside your 'cruising' comfort zone to spend a week in Paris!
