I am about to begin my second full day in Paris. It is still cloudy and cold but knowing that a warm ‘pain au chocolat’ is waiting for me at Max Poilane has me ready to face the day. I only wish I had my “frogg toggs” here to block the wind. To my friend Carol – I should have bought the coat in New York.
First helpful tip that I was given for traveling to Europe – bring not only a converter for the outlets but also a power strip. That way you only need one converter but have several outlets to plug in your phone, computer, tablet, camera recharger, etc. I packed one for Europe and had it in New York which was really helpful. However, rushing to pack and re-pack items in New York I left it at The Lexington plugged into the wall. Uugghhh! Now I have to plug in one item at a time wait for them to charge to move onto the next one. Second helpful tip given to me by my friend Stan – pack what you think you are going to need then remove a third of the items and repack. This was great advice and I removed four dresses, three tops and two shorts while in Dallas. During my stop in New York I reduced my packing even more removing 12 pounds from the weight of my luggage. I sent the extra items home via overnight. If you are a great planner you can do this exercise a week in advance of a long trip.
Headed to the Louve Museum – have a great day everyone!
