Sleepless in Paris – Texit

I’m once again sleepless in Paris due to the flat where I am staying.  It has a very busy street in front that has cars and motorbikes racing down it on Friday nights.  Lucky ME!!  It is once again about 3:30 am and this will be my last post from Paris as I am headed to Milan for quick plane change.  In approximately 12 hours I will be following Britain’s lead and will Texit.  That is short for Tess exiting the EU.

The past 9 weeks have been a wonderful once in a lifetime opportunity.  I have met many friends who I hope to stay in contact with once I’m back in the US.  I will travel again to Europe in the coming year with my son.  I want him to see the history and experience the culture of the countries I have visited on this trip.

I will land in New York on Saturday, June 25th, then fly home to Texas on June 26th.  After that I have one day to get my fingerprints done, an I-9 completed, dentist appointment, doctor appointment, manicure & pedicure before I start work again.  I’m pretty sure on my first day at the office I will be thinking “I need a vacation to recover from my vacation!”  Wish me luck because I haven’t been the newest employee in a company in 18 years and the markets just went bonkers over Brexit.  It should be an interesting first week!

For those of you following the number of miles I walked in Europe, the tally stands tonight at 515.79 miles with 1,171,811 steps taken and 1,430 flights of stairs.  That averages to be 7.815 miles per day; 17,754.71 steps per day and 21.67 flights of stairs per day.
