Carollee en Paris!: On My Way
http://carolleeenparis.blogspot.com/2011/09/on-my-way.html
Bucket list trip to Paris. Tuesday, September 13, 2011. Huit Jours en Paris 2011. I was without internet connection while actually in Paris. So much for the world wide web. Or maybe I just don't know how to work it. But I did document the experience and will post my comments day-by-day as if it weren't ten days later. This first comment is from the air en route to Paris. My plane left LA today at 1:00pm PDT. I want to document the trip every moment. Then I had several hours to wait. I was told on one US ...

Carollee en Paris!: July 2011
http://carolleeenparis.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Bucket list trip to Paris. Tuesday, July 5, 2011. Just a short entry in my pre-Paris countdown (I haven't actually counted the days). Why am I so fascinated with Paris? Monday, July 4, 2011. All my life - well since about age 9 - I've dreamed of going to Paris. That qualifies it for the bucket list. And I am going. In exactly two months I will land at Charles deGaulle airport for huit jours en Paris! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Un Lapin à Paris. Bucket list trip to Paris. View my complete profile.

Carollee en Paris!: Les Halles, Montmartre and the bus system
http://carolleeenparis.blogspot.com/2011/09/les-halles-montmartre-and-bus-system.html
Bucket list trip to Paris. Wednesday, September 21, 2011. Les Halles, Montmartre and the bus system. 9/9/11 Today was day six and I think six days would have been enough for this trip. I’ve seen the major sights, walked all over Paris, and I feel done, tired. Today the plan was to go east to Les Halles, la Marais, and le Georges Pompidou Center. Which I did partially. I walked to Les Halles which is a huge mall built in place of the ancient food market. So I headed back to my hotel without incident.

Carollee en Paris!: August 2011
http://carolleeenparis.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Bucket list trip to Paris. Saturday, August 20, 2011. It's about the Art. And I woke up this morning terrified! What was I thinking? A single woman going alone to Paris? Je voudrais vivre a la! I want to live there! It is totally about the art! I leave in exactly two weeks. I am excited about it, not terrified! Labels: Its about the Art. Wednesday, August 10, 2011. What do I wear? What's the point of having a blog if I never write? Or travel light, with a few basics crammed into a carry-on bag?

Carollee en Paris!: Finally, the Louvre
http://carolleeenparis.blogspot.com/2011/09/finally-louvre.html
Bucket list trip to Paris. Monday, September 19, 2011. Finally, the Louvre. 9/8/11 Another nice day with some pleasant surprises and only one faux pas. After petit dejeuner dans l’hotel, I went to the Louvre. The admission was only 10e which was my first pleasant surprise today. Bien sur, la musee et tres grande. I started on the ground level and made it to the Venus de Milo which is an anonymous creation, and really amazing. Even without her arms, this sculpture is so serene and elegant. I bought Heidi ...

http://carolleeenparis.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Bucket list trip to Paris. Saturday, September 24, 2011. Last day in Paris. 9/11/11 Mon dernier jour en Paris. This morning at breakfast, the Muslim girl was much better behaved. She smiled at me when I said “Bonjour,” and even responded in kind when I said, “Au revoir.” Tables were set, cups, glasses, plates were available. Much nicer than yesterday. I am so glad I did not interfere.). Are plans made to be changed? Did I have a plan for today? For the record retail therapy always works! Dumped my packag...

Carollee en Paris!: City Tour and Boat Tour
http://carolleeenparis.blogspot.com/2011/09/city-tour-and-boat-tour.html
Bucket list trip to Paris. Thursday, September 15, 2011. City Tour and Boat Tour. Amazing how sleep helps change the attitude. Got up early today to go on a bus tour of the city. Petit dejeuner ici dans l’hotel. Then met the tour guide. He had three other pickups, then our tour began. We drove by so many palaces, government buildings, monuments I can’t name them all. I took pictures of some of them. Our first stop was Montmartre and Sacre Coeur. Then I walked over to Place Tertre to see the artists.

Carollee en Paris!: Perfect Paris
http://carolleeenparis.blogspot.com/2011/09/perfect-paris.html
Bucket list trip to Paris. Thursday, September 22, 2011. 9/10/11 Mon septieme jour en Paris. A little drama this morning at the hotel. I went downstairs for breakfast about 8:30, said “Bonjour” to the hotel employee. No set-ups on the tables. No response from the Muslim girl attending the salon de petit dejeuner. I managed to find a clean cup from a table, got my coffee and sat. I had to use a saucer for mon pain. No glass for juice. The only sound was breaking glass from the tiny kitchen. When I crossed...

Carollee en Paris!: Mon premier jour en Paris
http://carolleeenparis.blogspot.com/2011/09/mon-premier-jour-en-paris.html
Bucket list trip to Paris. Wednesday, September 14, 2011. Mon premier jour en Paris. Before getting off the plane the lady sitting next to me opened a conversation, mostly in English. She’s French, but had lived in LA for 8 years. We made a plan to meet up on Thursday at 10:30 at my hotel. That is something to look forward to! So maybe I did make a friend on the plane. Customs was so easy, took less than 5 minutes, no lines, look at the passport, ok, move on. My baggage made it on the same plane. First, ...
