Paris, la Belle Paris!!! The most romantic city in the world....etc,etc,etc. Anyway, we hopped on the bus ready to endur 9hrs on the road just to see the beautiful Paris and Axe's lovely family!!! It was a very interesting road trip, starting by our very friendly bus driver - a grumpy French man who didn't allow passengers to eat on his bus "you are not the one who is going to clean!!!" he would say, so imagine if he would let us use the toilets???? They were locked the whole 9 hours!!! We arrived in Paris at 8AM and went strait to Axe's sisters place, although she wasn't there she left the keys - very generous of her!! We dumped our stuff and went strait out to explore the most visited city in the world. We ... read more

We landed at CDG airport in Paris France at @ 12:30 PM. Our flight included a plane transfer in Newark, which we made with time to spare. This was a bit difficult, considering we had to travel from Terminal B to Terminal C on a tram, in and out of security, without the stroller (which we had checked through to Paris) all in under 55 minutes. Our overseas flight was without complications; however, we flew on a 757, which has no overhead storage and little leg room. We all managed to sleep, especially the girls. Once in Paris, we set about making our way through Passport control, baggage claim and finally customs. Believe it or not, our luggage was like the 3rd pieces of the belt. No only this, but it came out just like it ... read more
