My travel experience has taught me one thing: OPEN YOUR MIND. It's a beautiful realization, but not always the most fun lesson to learn. I would like to share some of those lessons with you.
Lesson 1: The Parisian Passport Problem
I'm talking about the time I was in Paris and lost my passport. TRAVEL TIP #1: TRUST YOUR FRIENDS WITH YOUR LIFE but NOT YOUR PASSPORT. Back then I only had a point and shoot Advantix camera. Buying that camera was like owning an Atari. Cutting edge for a hot second then technology made it obsolete. We spent our time wandering the Champs Elyse, eating gnocchi to the drone of a player piano, exploring the endless corridors of the Louvre, the cathedrals, the opera house, biking beside the Seine and drinking at pubs in and around the winding roads of Montemarte. Our hostel, inappropriately called the "Friends Hostel" was less than friendly. Yet, OUR SPIRITS REMAINED STRONG. We woke each day to crepes or pain au chocolat with cafe au lait.
As we arrived at Charles De Gaulle Aiport, the missing passport came to light. It was dramatic. Tears were shed. And so began, EVEN MORE FUN IN PARIS!!!! As it was Friday and the American Consulate was closed, we had to wait until Monday to resolve the Parisian Passport Problem. We went to Musee D'Orsay, found a friendlier hostel near Notre Dame, and explored the Latin Quarter, a real gem in the city. TRAVEL TIP #2: ROLL WITH IT.
