Bon Voyage!

I'm off tomorrow morning to go catch up with Steve in Paris! I'm excited, but since I've only been planing this trip about 2 weeks, I'm not crazy-excited. That and the shitty job and house news I got this week (we probably will NOT be moving in the week of the 15th).
I've looked a lot on-line to try and figure out what to do, where to go and what to eat (besides the fries, dressing and toast). Foreign hotels sorta scare me so of course, I looked that up, too. Even though this info came straight from the Best Western website (BW in Paris? who knew?), it was obviously written by someone whose native language is not Engligh:
"Our 34 rooms offer exceptional comfort in a contemporary style with modern warm colors and exotic prosecutors. All rooms have air conditioning, with a flat screen, WiFi access, individual safe, trays of courtesy, hair dryer, and quilts. Our team welcomes you with attention."
Exotic prosecutors? What does that even mean? Samoan lawyers? And trays of courtesy? I think they mean all the little shampoos and lotions that I stuff in my bag.
And this occupancy notation was on there, too:
"Child Policy: For Every Two Paying Adults, One Child 2 And Under Is Free In The Existing Bedding."
Dang! I left my kid home with grandma for five days. I sure don't want another one, even if it is free and comes with it's own blankie.
Until then, au revoir!...I think...I don't know a lick of French!

one more thing(totally unrelated to Paris): if you have kids who watch or have ever watched Dora, you have to read this post:

You rock.
We really ARE BFFs and I know it for certain now.
I have a little inferiority complex and I'm never quite sure people genuinely like me.
If I had your fondness was true I'd have stowed away in your bag for a trip to Par-EE.
Have fun!!
I look forward to hearing ALL about it.
