Ah Parí, the city of lights! I am going next month, however will just be there for one night. Joan and I are planning to do as much as we can in 24 hours even if it means not sleeping. It has always been my dream (as well as millions of others) to go to Paris and experience it to the fullest. I plan to go back again this summer,hopefully with more time (and money) to spend. Since I will only be there for one day, do my readers have any suggestions on what I should do first and where I should go? Obviously Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower are going to be seen, but what else should I do to get the feel of the true Parisian? I plan to take hundreds of photos while I am there to share with you all. If you think this is a daunting task then here is my next question.
In two weeks or so, Joan and I are going to London. Here's where it gets hard, I'll only be in the city center for 2 hours. Yes, 120 minutes approximately. I am not so naive as I do know it is impossible to see much of anything in that time period but I am willing to meet the challenge. You see, Joan has to go for work, he found tickets with Ryanair for 20 €uros so he got me a flight as well. I am very grateful to even be setting foot on London soil however I know I will be deeply depressed when my time is up. What should I do in two hours? Grab a quick bite of fish and chips,snaps some photos,pick up a British Mag and head out the door? Probably all I will have time for, but if you have any suggestions do let me know.
Next week, Joan and I are going to Oporto again, for those of you who read my post about Oporto before,you know how well that went. This time, we are staying one night. He had to be there two days consecutively so his boss, Montse was kind enough to suggest he bring me and we make a trip of it. As much as I wish this overnight trip was in London, beggars can't be choosers. So, anyone have any ideas about where to go and what to see in Oporto? Research on the Internet only gets me so far. I am excited that we are staying at the same hotel we worked at before, (the very luxurious one where I had the great lunch) and we found out it has a spa on the top floor with infinity pools and saunas for under 10 €uros, so Joan and I will make use of that. As you can see I will be adding to my frequent flyer miles, even if it is with Ryanair.Joan just left for London, he will home tonight though which is always nice. I hate when he is away overnight, I can never sleep. As usual I have a lot I need to do but even more I want to do. Like check out blogs such as this one and this one.
Enjoy your day wherever you may be.
