Packing for Paris

In the past week, every time a client or friend hears we are heading for Paris, we get a heap of tourist advice ranging from the classic; "Pack half the clothes and twice the money (or maybe 3 times, because of the euro exchange rate!)", to the random; "Make sure you take a tour of the sewers!", and the sartorial; "Just bring a lot of black and a few scarves and you'll blend right in..."

Packing has been a bit of a stress, but I've settled on a lot of comfortable dresses and skirts all in black, white, and navy. Plenty of tank tops and pullovers, and a few light cardigans (and a pashmina or two). I'm bringing one dressy outfit (though I'm not sure I'll ever have time to go back to the hotel and change into it...) and a pair of jeans in case it gets chilly (the weather is supposed to be warm and sunny pretty much the whole time). I'm also bringing my favorite leopard coat, because every time I wear it, I feel like Brigitte Bardot.

I've been frantic trying to wrap up all these projects and Tim is still working his tail off on a few last minute things. All in all, I think we'll make it just under the wire and not a moment too soon. All the stress of the move and work is really getting to us. I think we really need a break. Where better to vacation than the city of love? ;)

I plan on having wi-fi at the hotel, so I'm sure I'll blog here and there on the trip and I'll be posting some videos to Youtube. So, I'll see you all later! I must go finish packing all my black clothes and scarves. ;)
