As you all must know, I have made it to my final destination safely but not without headaches. On my way over I was lucky to score an entire row of empty seats on a sardine packed plane. It was obvious I was the object of everyone's envy. Travel tip #1- always ask to sit in a set where no one else is. And so I had a very comfortable sleep all the way to Paris. Once I got into Charles De Gaulle airport everything ran smoothly, except I made my very first mistake- I bought a Paris Visite for 2 days- not exactly a devastating mistake, except I only used my 28 euro metro pass twice... Travel tip # 2- Don't buy a metro pass during the summer months, you won't use it. Now I packed very lightly in hopes that upon my arrival I wouldn't be targeted as a horrid tourist, and I was doing so well until I got stuck with my suitcase in the ticket booths of the metro station. Those doors show no mercy, knocked the wind right out of me and was left with some heroic battle bruises. I would still be there if it weren't for some nice Parisien man who came to my rescue, pretty much using the jaws of life to get me out. Travel tip # 3 - when traveling with suitcases, look to the sides for booths with a bigger passage way... Finally I made it to my hostel where my friend Danielle was patiently waiting for me. And so began Lulu's adventures in Paris
