Coffee, Tea or Me?
A single woman traveling alone faces many obstacles that male travelers, couples, families or groups of friends do not. What reminded me of this was another blog where a woman discussed her experiences with Couchsurfing. Couchsurfing is a website where you can offer up your place for someone to stay for a few days for … Continue reading
Bonne Annee, Buon Anno and Happy New Year!
On New Year’s Day, it seems that everyone reflects on the past year. Mine was a so-so year. 2013 brought someone back into my life, which was the high point for me. My travels – Paris, Hawaii (twice), Vietnam and Santa Fe – were all good, but I actually enjoyed the trips to Hawaii the … Continue reading
The Boys Are Back In Town
In actuality, it’s me that’s back in town. The boys are calling and texting me, though. Remember Guy #2, J., from the on-line dating website? After 3 dates, I’d told him that we could be friends and he was fine with that, yet didn’t bother to contact him again; we’d never exchanged phone numbers, either. … Continue reading
Spirituality
For those of you who know (and for those of you who don’t know), I’m Catholic. I’m not the type of Catholic that goes to church every Sunday and takes communion and all of that. I go to church when I feel the need, I give things up for Lent, I prefer to attend Easter … Continue reading
OMG, Becky! I Almost Forgot…
Musical Monday. Granted, it’s Tuesday, so I’m late! Whatever! Here it is. This song reminds me of my first trip to Paris. Johnny was driving me to the airport and we were singing along to this quite loudly ’cause we were cool like that! “Story of My Life” – Social Distortion
Le Fin
Why is it that vacations always end far too soon, whether they’re one week or one month? There’s never enough time to do everything that you intended, no matter how well you’ve planned! With that being said, yes, my week in Paris went by much more quickly than I’d anticipated. During my time in Paris, … Continue reading
Plus Paris
On Monday night I ended up having dinner at a rustic little restaurant called Les Bougresses. It’s basically across the street from the hotel that I stayed at in the 4th arrondissement the last 2 trips, yet I never recall it being there. The place was small, but warm, with one waiter who greeted everyone … Continue reading
The Truth Is…
I was always meant for Paris and Paris was always meant for me. I tried to tell myself that Italy better suited me. I even tried to find my spirituality in Bali. Now that I’m here again, I realize that Paris is my one true love. She’s neither broken my spirit or my heart, and … Continue reading
Oh La La! It’s Musical Monday (at least, in Paris, it is)
Let’s keep going with the French theme, shall we? Now I know that Madeline Peyroux has her version, but I love this one by DeeDee Bridgewater. “J’ai Deux Amours” – DeeDee Bridgewater
