Hi my loyal and faithful readers, this is Billi Pod’s schedule for the upcoming Paris (aka The City of Smelly People) Adventure, beginning on Monday, November 8th and ending on Tuesday, November 16th:
**********
Monday - 05:55pm - depart JFK AA #44
Tuesday - 06:30am - arrive Paris CGD
I will be staying with my former law school roomie, David West, formerly of Gainesville, FL, in his very nice apartment on The Left Bank, directly across the Seine River from The Louvre.
Wednesday - 08:00pm - Mamma Mia
Thursday - Armistice Day (a very important day in France, I am told)
Friday - 08:00am - pick up our rental car and drive to the Normandy area where we will overnight in Bayeux at HOTEL LE BAYEUX. No Billi Pod will not be driving.
Saturday - 8:30am to 5:30pm - American Highlights Tour, which includes: Sainte Mere Eglise (the first town liberated by US troops); Airborne Museum; Airborne Drop Zones; Utah Beach; Pointe du Hoc (infamous German gun position); Omaha Beach; and Colleville US Cemetary (resting place of 9,387 US service personnel)
On Saturday night we are not certain where we will overnight.
Sunday - return to Paris in the evening via our rental car
Monday - 2:00 - Monet Exhibit (dammit I can’t remember the location)
Tuesday - 09:55am - depart Paris - AA #45; 01:15pm - arrive JFK
**********
I will have my iBook with me and will have internet access while in David's apartment. Not sure about when we are in Normandy. Hopefully I can post both to my FaceBook Wall and to this blog.
If you are interested, the projected weather patterns in Paris almost mirror NYC this time of year.
Billi Pod is very charged, to say the least.
Sunday is the New York Marathon. Did you know that Billi Pod (actually that wasn’t his name back then) ran in, and successfully completed, the 1978/79 Marathons--no joke==>got pictures to prove it. No big deal back then. Only about 10,000 runners and all you had to do was pay your entrance fee and show up. You didn’t even get a T-shirt or anything at the end of the race. Not that way now, that is for sure.
Have a theater double header for tomorrow that I will post about in the morning.
GO GATORS!!
