I am so glad I got to visit this amazing city. It was quite an adventure filled with stress, tears (both of sadness and of joy), and adrenaline to get here though! The flight to Paris departed from JFK airport at 9:30 pm, but we flew from Atlanta to Boston first because it was cheaper. In Boston, it was snowing and the sky was full of fog, making it dangerous for planes to depart...this caused the airline to push back our flight to 6:00 pm! We tried to convince Air France to let us depart directly from Boston, but that didn't work, so eventually we waited it out for a bit, but the flight kept getting pushed back by 30 minutes! So, we decided that we would just rent a car and drive to JFK (in the snow/fog). This was quite a risk as we had never driven in snow before, and there was a lot of traffic on our route, which made the journey all the more painful and heartbreaking. The journey was supposed to be 3 hours and 45 minutes, but it took us 4 hours and 30 minutes, and I had come to the conclusion that we were not going to make it to Paris. After leaving the car at the wrong rental company and getting lost at the train station, we eventually checked in our bags by 8:49 pm (1 minute before the cutoff time). We quickly went through security as they escorted us through the line and finally made it to the terminal. The relief that I felt cannot be put into words, and the amount of emotions we all experienced during the journey to JFK is more than any person should have to bear, but it was all worth it. Paris is such a beautiful city full of history and style. I can't wait to visit again!
I have posted all the (good) pictures from the trip.
We could see the Sacre Coeur from our window
Napoleon is buried inside here

And of course, no trip to Paris would be complete without FOOD!
Wonderful pictures, sounds like an eventful trip for sure!
