The Paris Conflict

The first leg of my trip has begun with Paris. Two and a half years later I still seem to have this love hate relationship with this city. On the one hand no city can match it's beauty, however the people sometimes leave much to be desired. Not to mention getting around Paris by map is no easy feat...simple roads that cross at 90degrees are nowhere to be found...it can very frustrating when your still jet lagged.

Nonetheless I met up with old exchange friends of mine Caroline and Sebastien. It was great to share a pint 2 1/2 years later. Wild how time flies.. Tomorrow I am off to St-Jean pied du port to begin el Camino de Santiago de Compostella. More on that soon...

Paris

The day is finally here.
In about 20 minutes I will be heading to the airport to hop a flight to Paris.
I do not plan on staying long but I plan on meeting up with a couple of friends I made when I lived there. It feels like ages ago when I actually lived there.

Time to see how the city has changed or not changed.

Almost Go!


Tomorrow I'm leaving on jet plane.
Just getting a few last things in my backpack and then BAM! I'm off.

1. I decided to go with the around the one way plane ticket so I'll have much more flexibility when deciding where I want to go.
2. Travel Insurance is all taken care of ($350.00 later)
3. Vaccinations (CHECK)

Tomorrow at 7:50pm I will be boarding a one way flight to Paris.
Would you believe me if I told you it still hasn't hit me??
