GREETINGS FROM PARIS!

Well, it's nearly 11am on January 3rd, and i'm in Paris!
Amanda and I arrived this morning.

so it all began at 4am when Shaun and I headed to the airport. we met up there with Amanda, and checked in for my flight. I ended up getting on the same flight as Amanda... BUSINESS CLASS! I travelled to Toronto in STYLE man!! it was awesome. We were over Pitt Meadows in about 10 minutes flat!!

It was pretty cool, we were travelling at about 3300 feet, and we went over the majority of BC, through Washington, Montana, idaho, North Dakota, Minnesota, and i even waved at Crystal as we went through Wisconsin! hehe

i was LOVING business class... nice comfy seats that even had BACK MASSAGERS in them! I was spoiled rotten! Then came breakfast. They brought us these nice fruit plates, YUM! then MORE! I picked the scrambled eggs and sausages.. they were soooo yummy, i even took a picture i was so impressed (the guy sitting next to me thought i was a TOTAL redneck!!!)

Although the steward was from Pitt Meadows, and the guy sitting next to me was in the music industry or something. The flight attendant kept asking him if he was ok, and gave him his address so he could send him his "new cd, when it comes out in June". I still have no idea who he was. Although we had another "brush with fame" at the airport in Toronto. Amanda recognized some actor from the TV show "Queer as Folk". She went up and said hi and all that stuff. It was kinda neat (even though i had no idea who he was!)

Oh yeah, did I tell you they served us ICE CREAM AND COOKIES on the flight too!?!? hehehehehe

I slept a little on the flight, but not nearly enough. WE arrived at Toronto's pearson international airport at 1:20 pm local time. (10:20 Vancouver time)

From there we had a layover until our next flight. We could be found checking out the shops, and sitting down reading our magazines until it was time to board.

I managed to get on the same flight as amanda again! YAY!
Although this time we weren't sitting together and i was in economy But that's ok! we managed to talk a girl into switching seats so we ended up sitting together anyway. It SOOOOO wasn't as nice as business class... man, their seats reclined back so much they looked like BEDS!! hopefully i can get in on that action when i head back home!!!!!

so on the flight i fell asleep right away... I was almost sleeping before the plane took off, i was that tired!!! I woke up for dinner while flying over Quebec. Wasn't as fancy as my breakfast, but at that point i don't think it really mattered!!!

we arrived in paris at 8:06am local time, on January 3rd. The weather was foggy and it was only 3 degrees above freezing.

By 9:12 we were on a shuttle to Paris, although there's some sort of bus strike so we couldn't get where we needed to go, so we had to take a cab part way. Before even leaving the airport i had some french airport worker call me beautiful. haha Yup, Now i know why i was warned about the French men out here!!! :P

So so far, i've seen the Eiffel Tower, and the Arc de Triomphe! hehe

Right now it's 1:07 pm. I'm sitting at Amanda's place. it's super small, but it'll totally do for the two of us for the time i'm here! She's gone off to pick up the boy she nanny's for lunch from school. I stayed home. I'm feeling really sick for some reason, i hope it passes

So yeah. that's the trip so far.
I'll upload some pictures in a while.

I miss everyone already
I can't believe I haven't been gone even 24 hours and i'm homesick already.
