Jottings from our adventure in France 2011

Hello Everyone....

Most of you have followed our ramblings from time to time and have asked to be included in any future wandering we mahy undertake. And so here we are, on the cusp of an exciting adventure to France .

We have spent a couple of lovely evenings at our time share in New York. We choose this because not only do we love the city and grab every chance to be here, but we also have the chance to adjust to 3 hours time change helping us ward off jet lag. Throw in an opportunity to see a show it is perfect for us.

We arrived on Monday and the Hilton seems to always honor our request for a room with a view of Central Park. To help you understand how much I personally love this place...after we had arrived and John was freshening up I found myself sitting on the edge of the bed gazing out at the city while humming New York New York over and over. Some of you will think I am truely crazy.....others of you will understand.

And so we have enjoyed our two days and nights here....walking around the city.....going back to a great spot we discovered on our last trip for lunch and last evening we saw Sister Act and would recommend it to anyone. The joy, great music, great dance and the message of the show appeals to everyone.

I've always been excited by shows because I love live theatre so much. John has come to share my passion tenfold. Last night as I watched Sister Act I was moved to tears just thinking about when I was young and had so many dreams of seeing just one Broadway show. I have since been blessed by seeing many here,but never see one show without stopping for a moment and being grateful for each one!

And so, although this trip and blog are really about our trip to France....today I wanted to share our passion for this city.

We will be flying overnight this evening to Paris and begin our France adventure Thursday afternnon upon landing.

Our hosts, Thomas and Karine, have their flat prepared for us and their housekeeper, Hector, is waiting to greet us. Stay tuned to updates on this adventure.

John & Carol
