Travel to Paris Without Ever Leaving Home!

Updated on November 30, 2013

Romance in Paris, France... I Want That!

Travel To Paris, France... Online

That's it! I am tired of waiting to see Paris... I could just kick myself now... because when I was in London, not even two years ago -- I contemplated just taking the train on over myself and seeing the sights, lights and romance - that I had longed dreamed of seeing!

But... I decided to just wait. I talked myself out of it. I went 'practical'. I lost my spontaneity! I figured there was enough to see while in London... and there was. Lots of dust! LOL

I liked the castles. I loved the countryside. I did not like that everything was dark. I had great weather... it was May. I loved the museums. Could have cared less about the jewels and the armor...

Paris, France - Travel the City of Lights!

Regret.... I Should Have Taken That Train to Paris!

I wanted to see the Eiffel Tower. I wanted to see the city lights of Paris for myself. I wanted, really bad - to eat a chocolate eclair.... at a quaint sidewalk cafe, alone.

I would have been spotted as an American immediately though... because I would not have eaten like a woman from Paris... I would have reveled in eating, two chocolate eclairs, but have really wanted like -- three!

I wanted to SHOP! I wanted to speak french. I wanted to eat french cuisine. I wanted to take my camera and shoot my way through Paris... I wanted to get lost in the Louvre.

I wanted to experience the Davinci Code - Paris style!

I wanted to buy french perfume. I wanted to buy a t-shirt, at least... IN Paris!

Reality... I also knew that IF I took that fast train over to Paris and had such a small amount of time to do Paris - that I would end up leaving Paris - feeling totally cheated - on!

Or even worse, as far as my family is concerned... I may not have made it back to the States -- in order to not be cheated!

Yeah, "practical" was most likely the best decision at the time.

The sensible side of me, decided - that I really deserved to experience Paris, exactly how I had dreamed -- and not by way of a quicke trip!

All Aboard... Taking Eurostar High-speed Train to Paris After All!
