Croatia and Paris, Here We Come!

The tickets are in our hands (proverbially speaking of course...they really exist as electronic documents in Dan's email inbox). Our honeymoon travel plans are set! Dan, with his undying patience, navigated through muddy waters and difficult customer service agents to use frequent flier miles to buy our plane tickets. And so, we are off. Well, in a few months we'll be off. We both love traveling, and with the tickets in our possesion (again proverbially), excitement is bubbling up inside. A vacation! A chance to visit a new country, lay on the beaches, walk in the national parks, wonder through the cities, and, for at least part of the time, do nothing and have no cares in the world. And, as an added bonus, our flight has a day layover in Paris on the front end. We've both been to Paris--the last time for me was in 2004, where I strolled in the art musems, ate hazelnut crapes on a sideway cafe, and bought a fabulous, fuchsia colored, watering can shaped purse (I now have two). Paris is dubbed the most romantic city in the world, and while I am not to usually one to fall for cliches, the idea of stepping foot in it as a newlywed is truly enchanting (Although I haven't forgotten the other cliche that rang true about Paris when I was there--people are rude!). Regardless, we are going!!
