Thinking of Paris...

So today I was reviewing old photos from vacations and weekends away to pull together a coffee table book and ran across photos from almost 2 years ago in Paris.

Paris is one of my most favorite cities in the world and last year was the first year I didn't visit in almost 10 years.  I miss this city so much!

A big part of not traveling abroad last year was the weak dollar as well as concern for the economy but I think I'll have to find a way to go this year.  I typically like a posh hotel with all of the amentities but could definitely enjoy 'The  City of Lights' on a budget if I went with more economical accommodation.  Food and transportation are always a small fraction of my expenses so I will just have to find a way to reduce the shopping budget!
