I have solidified my travel plans for the first break! ...Or at least decided upon an arrival and departure destination: PARIS!! Hannah, Ashlee et moi went on Tuesday to the train station to buy the Carte 12-25. A card that, for the low, low price of 49E, reduces the purchase of train tickets. Ashlee was lucky enough to snatch TGV tickets for 39E and 49E online that evening, but one hour later when I tried they were up to 74E and 49E. (Sans the Carte 12-25, it would be 100E and 80E, though.) So, realizing that the prices would just keep skyrocketing, Hannah and I caved today and went to the train station to by our tickets! Even better, we are riding first class for an extra 2E per person! We decided that that was definitely worth it. We shall see! So, departure at 9.40am 21 fevrier, and then returning on the 5.16pm train 1 mars.
Now all we have to work on is hotel/hostel information, and what we are going to do in Paris, and where else we are going to go during the week. Suggestions?
oh my goodness!! I'm so excited for you! aww how j'adore Paris. I will send you the itinerary from my trip with Stephen (we managed to fit in a lot of stuff in a short amount of time!) and I also strong suggest buying the carte musées monuments http://www.parismuseumpass.com/en/pass_presentation.php so that you can save money on museum admission AND at most places, you get to skip waiting in line! it also gives admission to versailles if you wanted to take a day trip there by métro... and the tickets to versailles are a bit expensive so it's a great deal. expect an e-mail!
ReplyDeleteAhhh!!!! How exciting!!! I'm very jealous, I might add. It's amazing the opportunity you have to travel all around Europe when there. It's much cheaper than traveling within the U.S., which is very good on your end. <3
