all this, and paris, too.......

ok, so my horoscope said that today was a good day to book a trip....and since the stars never lie.....i went ahead and bought my tickets for paris spring break.......and it was not until i was home and fed and bathed in warm soapy water that it occured to me that this flight arrangement puts us into paris late in the morning....and that we may have to rush to make it to my favorite 1st day in paris lunch spot....the restaurant at the mussee d'orsay...in the lovely ballroom.......we can do it but our luggage must not be lost and we may have to weigh the rer train versus taxi options.......our hotel, should i be able to book there, is on rue st andres des arts....which is around the corner from the st michel rer station coming direct from charles de gaulle........and it is within walking distance of everywhere.......for those who abhor all things rsteves.....this will not be an rsteves trip.....we are going off hios grid and back to places i have stayed in and eaten at before he started his book empire......and though we may pay a few euros more for mainstream paris......we may luck out and see fewer tourists out of his preferred neighborhoods.......luckily i have now located all of my past trip journals......life is good.......
