sometime last year, one of my friends (originally from Bulgaria) mentioned she wanted to go to Paris in ’06. discovering that we each had enough miles for a free airline ticket, we joked about cashing it in and running away to Europe. part of me was only kidding. at this point, i will spare you the horror stories of my ‘tour de europe’ at the end of ’04.

my friend recently found out that a photographer friend of hers living in Paris is going to have her very first exhibit in March. after discussing dates and other details, we decided on the trip and cashed in our miles in exchanged for a challenging itinerary. not only do we have a layover… we have to change airports… both ways !

i have a friend who moved to Holland (Rotterdam) sometime last year. i contacted him and told him we’d be coming to Holland to visit him. he was really happy as he hasn’t had any visitors since he moved there.

we will be in Europe for about 8 days. we fly out of Miami on March 4th and return on March 12th. we plan to be in Paris until March 8th and then head over to the Netherlands, but we’ll play it by ear. if there’s one thing i learned from my last trip abroad, it’s that plans fall apart. we have plane tickets. we’ll figure everything else out when we get there.
