Depending on whether or not the weather-related congestion of European airports clears up, B and I will be off to lurvely Paris, France for Christmas in the morning. I know it sounds sexy and all, but remember that tickets from here to there cost the same as Phoenix to El Paso on Southwest. Yes, we've been to Paris before (this will be something like B's 6th time there), but when you have a favorite city so close and another year in the rearview mirror, this seems perfectly natural. Because we've seen all of the A-List touristy sights and had our fill of the high-end restaurants in our previous trips there, this vacation will be decidedly and blessedly low-key. We're staying in a residential apartment rental in the funky 10th Arrondissement (district or neighborhood to you and me), slightly off-the-beaten path for yer average tourist, but a real up-and-coming area with a lot of energy and great vibe. But the plan is to have no fixed plans when we get there-- maybe hit a few secondary sights if the mood strikes; check out some of the next wave of (comparatively) affordable dining that's the new hot thing, but mostly... walk, explore, and relax in one of the world's greatest cities. We thank all of our regular visitors, subscribers and commenters for stopping by the blog this year, and we wish you a happy and joyous holiday season. Au revoir!
