    This is so much fun to see! Think skipping Paris this summer is a grand plan! And yes, can see more on TV. Glad you will return in Dec.

    sorry to hear no trip to Paris blog this summer, but my mom and I are happy to follow along with your summer posts of memories past! Your blog brought a quiet moment and joy for my mom last year as we struggled with the final decline of my dad’s health. She loves Paris and traveled with my father many times so reading about your travels around Paris not only brought memories but she learned about areas of Paris they did not visit. Thanks for posting this summer and looking forward to your holiday in Paris blogging!!

    So glad you’ll go back and I look forward to your new blogs. As you know, my granddaughter lives in Paris and will work for NBC this summer as they cover the Olympics.
    She’ll be in the volleyball area- Watch for her on TV. Thanks for posting some of your old photos!

    Think you are terribly smart to adjust your travel plans. Can’t imagine how awful the crowds will be! Thanks for the photos. So much fun to see.

    My absolute favorite time to be in Paris is December and January so enjoy and don’t make such of a big deal about your clothes!

    Linda,
    I think you made a wise choice. It certainly will be different than your summer visits. But change is good ( mostly). I just spent 2 weeks in Paris in April and was able to avoid the crowds by staying more in neighborhoods. Yet, able to enjoy the beauty of Paris. I look forward to following your sojourn in December with all the Holiday festivities.

    Thank you for the update, Linda. I thought of you and Bernie recently and wondered if you were traveling this summer. I think you have made a wise decision not to join the crowds this summer!
    I will enjoy re-reading some of your former posts and look forward to your posts from Paris this winter.

    I am so happy to hear you will be going back to Paris. Being there at Christmas is magical and being there to experience the reopening of Notre Dame will be special!

    Love that you will be sharing photos of previous trips this summer.

    We have spent 4 Christmasses and one Thanksgiving in Paris and two Christmasses in Amsterdam. I wear my boots on the plane, as it leaves more room in my suitcase. Two years ago we bought packable, waterproof winter coats. We don’t like dealing with stowing coats when on the plane so we fold the coats up in their pouches and put them in our carry-on bags. We simply unpack them once we are in the terminal. We only take that one coat. Both of us wear a blazer on the plane. I also take two sets of silk long underwear. We try to walk everywhere and that little layer under my slacks and shirt or sweater helps a great deal.

    This year we are going to Florence in November. Maybe being further South will be a tiny bit warmer.

    I was just thinking of you yesterday, and wondering if y’all would be in Paris yet!
    Glad to know you will be putting posts up this summer, and look forward to the Notre Dame trip in the winter!
    Blessings to you and Bernie!

    I’m sad not to go this summer! Excited to see the lights in your pictures in December. I think you should post every four days since you’re not actually going to be there. Just enough time for anticipation. Love these pictures! Love Paris! I love all the memories!
