This is Versaille take deux - it was booked in 2009 but thanks to a Metro delay, I never got there in time & the tour left without me. Not this time. Without a doubt this has been one of my best days not just on this vacation, but all vacations before it - totally exceeded expectations in value, fun & experience. Sadly another early start - I do NOT want to be on public transport with folks in suits with laptop bags & serious expressions - this is e...

bonjour!!! oh man - i'm getting that feeling the days are flying so fast!!! so lets wrap up Tuesday & Wednesday Tuesday - the day of Deboirs jet lag reckoning OK, if one is on holiday, and they have made a 24+ hour journey to get here, one should NOT be setting an alarm for SIX.

PACKED. And with the up most sadness & disappointment, my upgrade option wasn't succesful so just had to suck it up. Yet again, I had the Hot Seat option - this just means there is extra leg room however the seat arrangement is 3 x 3 x 3 & being in th...

Well the European Adventure could've been a total disaster as LAST NIGHT I FORGOT TO SET THE ALARM FOR SATURDAY. I woke up at 6 am holy s***! was meant to be up at 5 & thankfully being prepared, it was a matter of shower & go. Luckily made it to the airport in record time - 45 mins.
