Bon Jour Masseurs, Madams (Translation: Hey Guys)

We've arrived home safely from France. My work went well and our short but jam packed visit into Paris was great. Now that we have secured some major elements for our Wedding I would like to make the next few posts about our trip. HINT: This would be your cue to check back on this site sometime in early 2007 for important information. Until then it's going to be all rambling and photos by me. Oh wait, that's all it's been so far. So let's begin.

Day 1: For the most part things went pretty smooth. Our driver showed up on time and took us to LAX. We allotted time for traffic but didn't hit any. We spent $60.00 to be driven in a Lincoln Town Car to ride in traffic in style and it was the shortest ride to the airport we've ever had. That's right; I'm complaining that there was no traffic. We had leathers seats, leg room, air conditioning and magazines for a thirty minute drive. Our flight was ten and a half hours. The last half hour Jessica got sick. I felt bad but then the paparazzi part of my brain decided to take pictures. I had no control.



We arrived at Charles De Gaul airport (where Jessica was sad not to receive a Paris stamp in her passport, reason unknown) and took a shuttle to our Hotel in Roissy. Roissy is a small town in France near the Exposition Center where I was working. Side note: The reason why we went to France was so that I could take pictures for a marketing company "Joyce & Assoc.". This job was for JLG, a client of theirs at the second largest trade show of its kind. I do promotional photos for documentation, press, brochures and website.



Dazed and confused from the 11 hour plane ride we wandered about town and found a pub frequented by locals. One beer each was all it took and we were out.



Upcoming posts of our trip include visits to the Arc dé Triumph, the Eiffel Tower, Notré Dame, the Louvre, Sacré-Cœur (one of the oldest churches in France atop the highest hill), the Paris Opera House, a Cemetery and miscellaneous cafés and restaurants plus a photo shoot of my beautiful bride to be Jessica. Here's a preview.
