New year, some things don't change.

Up late and surfing the net and always end up back in Paris like clock work. My last trip was last December 2010 in the middle of the worst winter storm. Did not know before I left it was going to happen. This was a treat for myself, my birthday was in December was celebrating my retirement from the U.S.Army after 25 years and needed to get away. And Paris no matter is my happy place.
So I can honestly say I have spent all four seasons in Paris at some point in time from my very first trip in late 1991 on a class trip with The Restaurant School (that's when I fell hard for Paris), then my tour in Germany I would take the long weekends hop the train and head for Paris (employee discount was a wonderful thing, help cut cost of hotel stay big time). Think I went 4 times while I was in Germany.
So although last winter 2010 was not the best I still made the best of it for me. My list of places still to visit is still growing. Especially after a report I did back in my first term last October 2011 back at The Restaurant School (going for my BS). My report on Alexadre Dumas and that his homes were open to the public, so you know at some point I will be going back to Paris.
Well seems I have not written this much online about anything like I just have. Some would say good therapy for me as its the happy thing I love that's all mine.
So will be adding to the list of what to see in the 20 districts of my happy place Paris.
