Arrival in Paris
Sooooo…I have arrived in Paris!!! I am so excited and thrilled to be here. The flight over was superb! I flew over Ireland which looked absolutely AMAZING from the plane…that may be next on my travel list! : )
It was an interesting trip to my apartment since the taxi driver spoke zero-zip-nada-bit of English. I know what you are thinking…Kimberly, you were speaking fluent French to him! Right??? Um…well…er…the answer is no! I was trying and we did ok but it was pretty funny! Luckily he was very kind! I do believe he was wishing he had not been the one to pick me up from the airport when he saw my suitcase, which is the largest suitcase I have ever owned! I am quite certain that the suitcase easily outweighed him….poor guy. And get this…he saw the horror in my eyes when I realized that the place that I am staying tonight has no elevator…just a very narrow, steep staircase. Bless his heart…he packed my suitcase up the three flights of stairs. I did tip him very well but…I am quite sure he will need back surgery after dealing with my luggage. Guess what??? He is supposed to be here tomorrow to help me move to the other apartment. Hmmmm….I wonder if he will show?!
Ok…enough for now. I need sleep!
Sounds like a fun first day! Did you get our little message in your taxi fare envelope? I cant believe how easy it has been to talk to you since you have been there. Get some sleep I’m sure you will need it. We love you!
i am pleased you made it safely and i hope your experience exceeds your expectations!!
I think instead of Ireland being your next vacation it should be to come visit me;-)
