| 14:57.39 | youtah | BigBen212, it was actually an amazing trip |
| 14:57.46 | youtah | WAY more expensive than we had planned, lol |
| 14:59.48 | youtah | We flew into Paris, and stayed there for a night to fight the jet lag. Then rented a car and drove to Normandy/Omaha/Point du hoc and stayed there. |
| 15:00.05 | youtah | Then we drove to Mont Saint Michele and stayed there for a night |
| 15:00.33 | youtah | then we drove through the loire valley and toured a bunch of castles |
| 15:00.47 | youtah | stayed in Borges, which is a 12th century Gothic city |
| 15:00.59 | youtah | drove up to Paris and caught a train to Amsterdam |
| 15:01.46 | youtah | Hit the keukenhof gardens, Anne Frank house, red light district (you have to see it atleast once, lol), Vondelpark etc. We were there a couple of days |
| 15:05.45 | youtah | then train back to Paris to finish out the Trip. Catacombs, Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower, The Lourve, Notre Dame, Sainte-Chapelle, Palace of Versaille, Luxembourg Palace/gardens, Palais Garnier (FREAKING AMAZING), Sacre-Coeur, and the Moulin Rouge |
| 15:06.48 | youtah | bur driving through the small country villages of Central/South France and eating at these little mom/pop shops was amazing. |
| 15:07.27 | youtah | The riverboat cruise on the Seine wasn't nearly as impressive as everyone made it out to be. |
| 15:08.08 | youtah | I found an app that you can buy tickets to, at a cost about 5% more than if you purchased them there in person, but it allowed you to skip all the lines, and saved us HOURS AND HOURS of waiting in line. Worth the 5%. |

| 15:14.23 | youtah | We hit Château d'Ussé, Château d'Azay-le-Rideau (AWESOME! Make sure to spend some time in the town Azay-le-Rideau), Château du Clos Lucé (Leonardo Da Vinci's final home), Château Royal d'Amboise, Château de Chenonceau, and Château de Chambord. The Cathédrale Saint-Ãtienne de Bourges was also amazing. |
| 15:14.43 | youtah | We were averaging 33,000 steps per day |
| 15:15.08 | spangborn | anyone seen youtah? |
| 15:15.22 | spangborn | I'm beginning to worry he disappeared |
| 15:21.45 | youtah | lol |
| 15:23.35 | youtah | The roads in France are really freaking interesting too |
| 15:24.00 | youtah | They have huge signs warning you of their speed traps ahead |
| 15:40.10 | BigBen212 | sounds like quite the adventure |
| 15:40.23 | BigBen212 | already saw that you want to take more international trips now, that's great |
| 15:50.10 | youtah | I could have spent 2 weeks in the Normandy area |
| 15:50.34 | BigBen212 | told you it was too short :) |
| 15:50.54 | BigBen212 | actually, you would be able to fill up 6 weeks without trouble |
| 15:51.14 | youtah | and drain my life savings |
| 15:52.19 | BigBen212 | yup, that's true unfortunately. |
| 15:53.01 | BigBen212 | My advantage is that I always have "home base" where I grew up |
| 16:09.44 | youtah | okay BigBen212 and thekev` .... |
| 16:09.53 | youtah | I just made a huge post on FB for you two to read |
| 16:10.06 | youtah | more or less what I posted in here, but more organized |
| 16:10.45 | BigBen212 | by the way Kim ... is she doing okay? Knee is getting fixed? |
| 16:11.10 | youtah | The drained a lot of blood out of her knee on Monday |
| 16:11.25 | youtah | which is indicative of a tear. |
| 16:12.01 | youtah | But he's thinking meniscus, not ACL, but that will be confirmed via an MRI |
| 16:12.45 | BigBen212 | hope the airline was able to help with everything and that was a good experience at least |
| 16:13.04 | youtah | we had already paid to upgrade to Comfort Plus |
| 16:13.10 | youtah | so we had the leg room to stretch her out |
| 16:13.18 | youtah | and we kept refilling the ice on the plane |
| 16:13.23 | youtah | and I had wrapped it pretty well |
| 16:14.01 | BigBen212 | and did you have the direct flight back from CDG to SLC ? |
| 16:14.12 | BigBen212 | so no hassle with switching planes |
| 16:14.29 | youtah | correct |
| 16:14.45 | youtah | but despite us buying the approved "US Okay" Tulip bulbs |
| 16:14.48 | BigBen212 | nice, fingers crossed for a good recovery |
| 16:15.03 | youtah | customs still confiscated all of Kim's bulbs |
| 16:15.09 | youtah | all 60 Euros worth |
| 16:15.19 | BigBen212 | ouch, did they not come in the wrapper with the customs form ? |
| 16:15.39 | youtah | They're supposed to have a specific seal stamped on the back of them |
| 16:15.49 | youtah | That's the only thing they were missing |
| 16:16.08 | BigBen212 | they have that all figured out at the AMS airport. You can buy them right there in the airport and those have the seal printed on an extra piece of paper that's afixed to the sealed bag |
| 16:16.18 | youtah | right |
| 16:16.24 | youtah | we flew out of CDG |
| 16:16.25 | BigBen212 | I know they are really picky about that. I got cought one time with stuff too :) |
| 16:16.33 | BigBen212 | will always be careful in the future with any plant stuff |
| 16:16.53 | BigBen212 | my mom packed a plant and I told her that it's not going to go through customs but she talked me into trying |
| 16:16.57 | youtah | but they didn't care at all about me bringing home several bottles of nice French wine in my carryons |
| 16:17.18 | BigBen212 | got off the plane and got a stamp right on my customs form where I said that ididn't have have anything to declare |
| 16:17.35 | BigBen212 | and the customs guy picked us up right at the immigration desk |
| 16:18.05 | BigBen212 | walked us to our suitcase and on the way I said I wasn't unsure if I filled out the form correctly because I had a plant that my mom gave me |
| 16:18.17 | BigBen212 | but it wasn't "agricultural" |
| 16:18.33 | BigBen212 | so I pulled that out of the suitcase for him and he shredded it. |
| 16:18.47 | BigBen212 | told me that because I told him ahead of time, there's no fine :) |
| 16:19.13 | BigBen212 | ever since, even if I bring back just wrapped chocolate, I check the "food" checkbox |
| 16:19.18 | spangborn | French wine? |
| 16:19.20 | spangborn | Are you drinking it? |
| 16:19.41 | youtah | no |
| 16:19.49 | youtah | it was for my friend as a thank you that bought us the plane tickets |
| 16:20.39 | youtah | We asked the lady |
| 16:20.40 | BigBen212 | yeah, bringing wine and beer in carryon is okay |
| 16:20.46 | youtah | we had a bunch of Stroopwaffles |
| 16:20.52 | youtah | and she said that didn't count as food |
| 16:20.52 | BigBen212 | as long as you declare it in the customs form as food |
| 16:21.02 | youtah | they're only concerned if the food is produce |
| 16:21.04 | spangborn | Should have brought me french wine |
| 16:21.11 | youtah | lol spangborn |
| 16:21.12 | BigBen212 | haha, yeah, I always just check it and then they ask and I tell them what I have and they never complained |
| 16:21.27 | BigBen212 | with the food |
| 16:21.33 | spangborn | I saw a really terrible pickup line the other day for a french girl |
| 16:21.41 | spangborn | "Are you Notre Dame, because you're lit" |
| 16:21.41 | BigBen212 | so you had somebody buy the tickets for you, lucky! |
| 16:21.54 | BigBen212 | spangborn: hah |

| 22:18.55 | youtah | if you're tired of working in your yard |
| 22:18.59 | youtah | then come do mine |
| 22:19.43 | spangborn | I just spent an hour pulling weeds |
| 22:19.49 | spangborn | and then put down weed n feed |
| 22:19.53 | spangborn | and then checked sprinklers |
