My OperaI'm Going to Paris!
Friday, November 7, 2008 1:29:27 PM
I've been talking about it for ages but it has finally finally become a reality...for my first ever trip abroad I'm going to Paris!
I got my passport two weeks ago and just needed to find a suitable time to go, preferably when my old friend Ben would be around to show me the sights. What's that? Last weekend of November, you say? That'll do nicely.
I fly out with Easyjet on Sat 29th and arrive back in Edinburgh on Wed 3rd, just in time for a few days relaxation at home before trooping back to work the following Monday. This gives me nearly five days in Paris (four nights) to hang out with my old flatmate and explore. In preparation, I'm even going to dig out my old high school textbooks and brush up on my incredibly rusty French language skills; Ben's girlfriend is a native Frenchwoman who teaches French to English-speakers for a living - obviously some effort will be required if I don't want to make a total idiot of myself!
This is going to be magnifique!!![/ALIGN]
