Today my dear Paris loving amie Mary, and I are off to Paris. If the "standby gods" are willing, we'll be arriving at CDG at about 6:15 am Paris time Thursday ( CDT 11:15 pm Wed.). Don't you worry, we will hit the ground running - and let the adrenaline rush do its job. This trip, I will be meeting dear friends once again, and many new ones as well. It will be a busy but fun trip no matter the weather. Mary and I have both made a list of things we've always wanted to see or do and this time we're determined to cross some of those places off our list. I have blog posts already scheduled and will hopefully be able to share some of our adventures each and every day. I promise to take a zillion photographs to share as soon as I return home.

About Me
- Virginia
- Birmingham, AL, United States
- I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
Paris je t'aime
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

Have a wonderful trip!!
Well, there's no need to wish you a wonderful trip because of course it will be a wonderful trip. Hope you are packing warm boots and thermal underwear. Look forward to a chat on the phone one day. To you and Mary - have a ball!
Bon Voyage!
Hoorayyyyy!!! Looking forward to your zillion photos, dear V. I hope you and Meepsie can endure the separation without too many tears. Big hugs.
Super Virginia! Je vois que vous êtes très contente de venir à Paris!
Have a wonderful, wonderful time. I may be there in a few weeks... if the gods permit.
Hope your flight went off without a hitch. Hugs to you and to Mary. Have a great time.
It will be so wonderful to see your new photos and read all about your new adventures. Have great fun!
Bienvenue! I hope you have had a good trip (and you've got your umbrella...)
Alice,
Oui, we have ours packed!
Jill
Great having lunch yesterday. Wish you were going.
Merci everyone for your warm wishes. It will rain but c'est Paris! :)
Shell,
Meeps is staying with my daughter Melissa and getting to know her cousin Kittykins. I'll keep you posted on how that's playing out!
How exciting!
Safe journey Virginia.
Safe travels, mes amies! I can't wait to hear the stories, the funny moments (hah!), the new people you meet, the discoveries you two make, and to see the wonderful photos (all 11GB) that you take...
I will be there in spirit.
Bisous,
Genie
Don't forget to visit the Catacombs this time.
I am so thrilled about your trip and will be there with you in spirit. Say hello to Peter for me.
Can't wait to see the pictures and hear about the adventures!
How delightful! Safe travels...can't wait to see ....the adventures that await you!
I think it's a wonderful land...good trip!
Miss Virginia,
Have a wonderful trip...
And a good photo..
Best regards and have a good day,
Wong
Well, it's 11:04 EST so you should almost be there! Yippeee!
It's supposed to rain through Friday, but then Saturday is supposed to be partly sunny to sunny and up around 13 or 14 C ! Go figure... don't know if you'll see much snow (or if you even wanted to...)
For some reason I was thinking you'd said you were arriving the 12th... is that when you're going home?
Do you have a phone in Paris you could shoot to me by e mail ? Monday may be the only day I'd even have a remote chance of getting in to town, don't know what you have planned for Monday 10th... You can reach me at :
33 6 16 78 41 27 (from Paris on local system 06 16 78 41 27 )
Safe travelling to you, and happy arrival this morning, oh boy, you'll be landing soon, and I'm just off to bed now... crazy ?
Wishing you and Mary a fabulous time whatever happens ! Would be great to see you though, and I'll bet Mary has some more surprises up her sleeve like Picpus...
Let me know if you have room on your dance card for coffee. I did a post for you back in December...did you ever see it? Oh well,you will see the Crillon in person while you're in town.
Anne, can you emaill me? Would love to try and see you!
