Paris and EURODISNEY!

Not surprisingly,since the first week I found out I was going abroad and Stacy was going abroad, we knew we were going to meet up in one place: DISNEY! oh yeah and Paris too. She wrote a bomb entry http://stacykirkland.wordpress.com/.

But here is mine,

I meet Stacy at the airport on Friday. We traveled to our hotel which is in a small town 10 minutes away from Disney and 45 minutes out of the city. The first thing we found was the best homemade croissants and many other pastries and we got a baguette. So Delicious!! I could not even describe to you how good it is, its beautiful.

The next day we woke up bright and early to prepare for a full day of Disney. We even got there before the park opened...we are dedicated. But only a few of you would appreciate that. We got our map, planned out some of the important rides and parades. We did everything we could do and enjoyed every minute of it. We ate lunch in Frontierland with fajitas. We even got 2 pairs of FastPass tickets... shush don't tell anyone...we cheated the system.

We ate dinner at Disney Village at some sports bar where we watched the Man U vs FCB futbol game. We stayed till one hour before park closing because we were STARVING.

PS-We each got ears. I got t-i-double Ga-er and Stacy got Minnie.


On Sunday we went to Paris finally. I want to go on record and say that this is the place where Stacy and I feel in love... its is the MOST ROMANTIC CITY IN THE WORLD! We dropped our bags off at some locker place and then headed out. Weirdly enough the first Paris site we saw was the Paris Marathon. It was so exciting. Then we went to Notre Dame and got into Sunday Mass for free. It is amazing, the best cathedral EVER! Next was The Louvre.



Stacy had heard a great idea that if you say you are studying art you can get in for free. IT WORKS! Saw the Mona Lisa for free.

Stayed along the Marathon and bonded with some runners and got some food. We finally had crepes... so delicious, I still miss them. We then tried to go to find a Longchamp bag since everyone owns it there, but there were no stores. Where is the famous Paris shopping??! Oh well. We walked by the Arc de Triumph onto the Eiffel Tower. Let me just tell you how amazing this thing is. Its beautiful. Stacy made us stay in the cold till night fell and it lite up. At the time I was cold and something else, but now I am SO glad she made us wait cause it was worth it.

We then went to get our bags from the metro stop and got there at 10:01, it closed at 10. The luckiest moment of my life, the people who were closing up were walking out and unlocked the the doors and let us get our bags. Close call. Then we went to our hotel near the airport which was the same as the one I stayed in when I went to Liverpool. They were really nice.

Woke up and went to the airport and had to register for classes then. Such an experience. Made it home safely. I am so thankful I went on this trip, I loved it so much. <3 Stacy.

Because we printed our tickets to the park, when we were getting fast passes at space mountain, the scanner didn't work so the guy there had to just give us them. So the computer thought we hadn't used any yet.

We went on big thunder, space mountain (X2), star tours, phantom manor, pirates, indiana jones, alice labyrinth, its a small world, snow white, Pinocchio, dragon...thats all i can remember
