I’m thrilled and panicked. I’m a total planner and this last minute madness is making my head spin. I don’t know the language, the sights, or the customs. I didn’t even have the time to check the weather over there til yesterday (freaking freezing, by the way!). My plan is to have a croissant in Paris (I will also be demanding pigeons and someone to walk by in a beret), beer out of a big stein in Frankfurt, and chocolate in Switzerland. Everything beyond those goals will be icing on the cake. Any suggestions?
I’ll be gone just over a week and should be sufficiently jetlagged but giddy by the time I get back. I’ll be returning calls and emails by February 7th. I’ll be late on getting the February Desktop Images up so please forgive me but get excited for the Best of 2011 Contest that will be starting once I return.
Wish me luck on this whirlwind tour!
Au revoir,
Lindsay

I have been living in Zurich for a while now. If you need any tips or you would have time for a coffee in the best place for chocolate delights in Zurich ;-) write me at alinka_s_mail@yahoo.com Have fun! Alina
If they still publish them, you should pick up Irreverent Guides. I had one for Paris and it was great - lots of stuff off the beaten path. Its been a long time since I've gone but be sure to spend time on Ille St. Louis My favorite cafe was three doors down from an amazing chocolate shop (of course I can't remember their names for the life of me)
Also be sure to walk the Marais, find a cafe without an tourists and sit. Then, put your map away and walk without direction. Paris is a city to get lost in. During the day of course.
