Paris day 1

I did not sleep last night; I was like a child the night before Christmas; who does this? Who gets twelve-hour notice from their husband that they are leaving for the city of their dreams? Me, I do .... our theme NO REGRETS ...✈
Leaving Sky Harbor Airport. We will layover in Philadelphia and then on to Paris.


Eric was so happy to eat this bad boy ... Philly cheesesteak sandwich .... does not look good to me. I ate a bowl of watermelon.

Another considerable surprise ..... read the boarding pass .... what is the seat number? You got it, 1st class ..... are you kidding me? 1st class to Paris?. Thank you, Eric. He just wants this to be a trip to remember and for me to be comfortable and in no pain, if possible. ♥ Him for that.\

Holding hands with our "LIVE FREE" pink bracelets on, I have 200 at my house if anyone wants one. National Breast Cancer Month is in October, and I would like all my friends to have one.



Relaxing in my private Envoy suite, getting ready to eat a little dinner.


Now for a salad, cheese, tomato, and basil, look at that cute little bottle of balsamic vinegar and oil.


1st class meal ... Filet Mignon, twice baked potato, and fresh green beans. Oh, and notice the white linen table cloth.

Now for a movie and a little sleep, oh and the TV is my own private, with my own remote .... Eric can't take it away. He has his own too. The private suites in Envoy class have seats that fully recline to a bed; so excited !!!

In 1st class, we woke up to breakfast, fresh yogurt, and granola. Fresh squeezed orange juice .... just kidding, not fresh-squeezed, but it was orange juice.


We took the train to PARIS from the airport.

My new favorite shoes are TOMS. These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn, and walking everywhere we go in PARIS (I love saying PARIS), I am so glad I have them on my feet.


These are some of the artwork we saw in the Louvre today. The Mona Lisa is the most famous piece of art but not one of my favorites. Tomorrow we will go and see the Monets.

I hope Doctor Northfelt will be ok with me eating sugar and flour. I mean, how often do I get to go to PARIS? I have not eaten any sugar or white flour in months. I do have to admit I was happy to see this fruit stand outside of my hotel. On my last visit to see Dr. Northfelt, he told Eric he needed to take me on a nice vacation to relax before my upcoming surgery.

I tasted Nutella for the 1st time tonight on a beautiful Crepe. I know you can buy Nutella at Walmart, but I told myself I would never try it until I was in PARIS eating a Crepe. So now I can check that one off the list of things to do. ✔
