Paris Planning

I hope visiting Paris isn't as exhausting as planning for it. Man, that was tiring. K and I went down to Panera yesterday, bought a coffee and began pouring over our trip. Not surprisingly, we shared a mutual desire to visit many of the museums and sites.

We are planning all the major museums - The Louvre, Musee des Orangeries, Musee des Orsay, Musee des Picasso - and even a few of the smaller ones as time permits. We've planned three walking tours, a Segway tour and a Seine River cruise. We avoided the dinner cruise, preferring local restaurants to the limited selection on the cruise boats.

Of course, we are planning to visit the Eiffel Tower and walk down Champs Elysees which will get us to the Arc de Triomphe. I'm going to invest in a pair of SuperFeet because we're going to be on our feet 10 - 14 hours a day. We may only get to Paris once.

Trying to arrange the Segway Tour was an exercise in frustration. I used my plastic to schedule and pay for the tour only to be denied because of the international location of the rental shop. Stupidly, I then tried my ATM card only to get the same results. Both cards were shut down by the respective banks. Fortunately, my ATM bank called me, determined that it was not fraud and switched it back on. Waiting for the other credit union to contact me about the credit card.

The weather looks to be good when we get there. Not warm by any stretch, but mid-50s and fortunately no rain.

Bonjour!
