bonjour paris!

bonjour mes amis!

well, i have held it in too long and i have to share it with you, my wonderful readers. i am incredibly lucky to be going to paris on saturday for five amazing nights with mitchell, my parents and my siblings and their significant others. it's an incredibly generous gift from my parents in honor of their 35th anniversary, and i couldn't be more excited. in my absence, i plan on having one post scheduled each day and i can't wait to share with you everything i know i'll have to share upon my return.

i have been busy constructing a loose itinerary with a very detailed guidebook for us all to use which combines all the recommendations we've gotten as well as all of frommers' and fodors' wisdom. and i highly recommend rick steves' paris - he has guidebooks for many places, and he's so user-friendly and chock full of great information and tips, and even offers updates on the website.

SO in preparation for our trip, i am going to have one travel-themed post each day this week, in addition to a regular post. i welcome any tips you'd like to share about anything!
