C'est Magnifique

Friday, February 22nd, 2008

Art and architecture and even fashion seem to be a an addendum to most cultures in the western world. Sometimes I feel in the states that it is considered more of a luxury than anything else. What has impressed me most about Paris is that the aforementioned three are not part of the culture; they [...]

Of All Things To Put Into Storage

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

Perhaps the most miserable part of moving on is the packing. Several scenarios come into play. It is inevitable. You either forget something and leave it behind or you accidentally give something away that you thought you would never need again. You realize that you only need it when you don’t have it. Such is [...]

It Is Day 2 Already

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

There is little more as exciting than waking up in Paris. I slept so well last night; a combination of jet lag and pure exhaustion on the part of the MinuteFix launch.

The only movement comes courtesy of jet lagged travelers making their way from the concourse through the passport turnstiles on to the [...]

Achieving Balance

Monday, February 18th, 2008

I arrived at gate A2 exasperated; winded from my hurried pace from one concourse to another. My findings… So, hungry I stop at the food court and take an available seat. I find more than a meal though. I find balance in the world. Free wireless access… 11:58pm Update: I am still sitting at the [...]

Au revoir Savannah

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

I finally got my confirmed travel itinerary for Paris today. I was getting a bit worried as I ordered through Vayama and was able to book Continental Air. That wasn’t my concern, however. My concern was that although my seats had been reserved for each leg I had not received a confirmation number and the [...]
