Re-booked. Still packed

Re-booked Paris from 23 Mai to 2 juin. Had to book another hotel as the Ideal had other guests filling the slots. Booked at the Pink Hotel on the Right Bank east of the Bastille. Should be more able to walk to town if we choose.

The Pink is a new place with 15 chambres and free wifi. Even has air conditioning should we need it, a rarity for Paris. Http://pinkhotel.fr

Also booked our bike tour around the old part of Paris and our train/bike excursion and picnic to Versaille. Now for the volcano to cooperate and the weather too. We still haven't unpacked and transferring stuff to our new lighter luggage should be a snap.

Have two requests from bike staff in Paris. One wants York Peppermint Patties. Another young woman from Texas wants a jar of Salsa. We're ready!

Up in the air

Spent yesterday calling Paris, making reservations on the Internet Tubes and piling my clothes to get ready. Then this morning I heard that airports across northern Europe "as far south as Paris" were closed because of volcanic dust for a spouting volcano in Iceland.

Decided to clean the car, finish sorting the clothes and continue packing while keeping an eye on the latest news. Plans to be "up in the air" seem to be up in the air. Hmmm...

Again

Trying another post. First one posted but not sure how it did. Hmmm

Got a blogging program for the iPad. First post vanished off into the clouds somewhere. Hoping to keep a record of our trip and allow the curious a peek at our progress. Stay tuned, s'il plait.

Ideal hotel design

Ideal Hotel Design hotel. In a renovated Haussmann style building. Haussmann was the architect who designed the big boulevards that transformed Paris. Hope that the Ideal hotel is indeed ideal.

Off to Paris

Just changed our reservations from the Radisson Blu Ambassador Hotel on Boulevard Haussmann, Paris to the Ideal Hotel Design 108 Boulevard Jourdan Paris 75014 France

Phone: 33 (1) 45 40 45 16. Change saved us $914. Flights, hotel and insurance now $3210.

Ideal Hotel Design looks to be more of a funky place right at the end of the Porte d'Orleans Metro stop. A renovated "Hausmann" style building. Hoping that the Ideal Hotel is truly Ideal.

We'll be flying non-stop from Salt Lake to Paris (10hrs, 40 min.) on Delta on Friday 16 Avril 2010.

Returning Monday 26 Avril 2010. Boeing 767 Passenger Jet.

My second trip to Europe, first to Paris. Jenifer was there just after college ( a while ago ).

Will try to blog our trip a bit, as wifi available, on our new Apple iPad 32g. à bientôt! Merci
