Jeff here - Hola from Paris!
Travelling for work can have its perks. Not many, mind you, but they're there. Take this trip, for example. The plane tickets and the hotel are on points. But as anyone who has done business travel knows, it aint glamorous. It can also get lonely.
This trip has been great because I get to travel with Kevin and see Paris through his eyes. It's also happening over the holidays - a time when work slows down...at least for a few days, so it's a chance to unplug a little (he says as he types a blog post) and really be together. And he gets to benefit from my being gone at various times throughout the year. Good stuff!

Random thoughts:
- I started the year off flying an A380 for the first time. I ended it flying a 787. I've become a plane geek - sorta.
- If NY and LA had a traffic baby, it would be Paris.
- When we left the Louvre the second time, we went out through a shopping plaza where a group of soldiers were hanging out with machine guns.
- Paris better be serving up some foie gras and soon!
- If someone comes up to you in Paris and asks if you speak English, just say "no!"
Jeff, I remember being a little unnerved by the machine-gun-wielding soldiers in Paris, too. (My visit was amid the election and near May Day.) Oveall, though, I felt safe with their presence, especially considering the idea that there are far fewer guns in Europe than in the US. You will get used to the Parisian Vigipirate (love that word). I want to hear the back story behind your last comment. 😉
